  • Summary

  • Nehemiah 12:1-43

    Gregory Goswell (Academic Dean at Christ College in New Zealand) writes in A Study Commentary on Ezra-Nehemiah, (EP, 2013), 380. "There is little prospect of Nehemiah 11 becoming one of the Old Testament's most famous or best loved chapters. The modern reader does not find long lists of difficult Hebrew names very interesting. The chapter is not, however, without its value or purpose.. Coming as it does after chapters 8-10 that have described the reformation of the people and the revival of spiritual life among them, it makes the point that only now are the people in a fit state to inhabit the holy city [Jerusalem]."

    In other words, the developing theme and theology contained in Ezra-Nehemiah is that in spite of all their recent hardships, Israel are still the LORD's chosen people. Further, the LORD's purposes of redemption, His rule and reign, are inseparably tied to Jerusalem ("the holy city") -- and these Israelites' actions believe that.
