Nehemiah 1-3

It took me nearly 20 minutes to read this passage. The book begins by recounting the boldness of Neheniah to request of thr king of Persia a leave to return to the land from which he was exiled. The king granted his request. The king granted him another request; to provide letters of approval of the work Nehemiah was to perform. So he began the task of rebuiding the wall. All of chapter 3 speaks of who led the construction on each part of the wall. Progress way made because the.people worked with one purpose, and it was not a focus on personal gain. The gain realized was for the good of all Israel.
