(And Meremoth, the son of Urijah, the son of Hakkoz, rebuilt the next section after him, from the door of the house of Eliashib, unto the end of Eliashib's house.)

Nehemiah 3:21 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 3:21

After him repaired Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Koz,
another piece
He had wrought before in another part, ( Nehemiah 3:4 ) , but having finished that, he sets his hand a second time to the work:

from the door of the house of Eliashib, even to the end of the house of
Eliashib;
the door of his house seems to have been at one end of it, and from that end to the other was a considerable length; he being a great man, the high priest, had a large house.
