Nehemiah 3:24 (KJV)

What does Nehemiah 3:24 mean?

Nehemiah 3:24 records Binnui’s work on a section of Jerusalem’s damaged wall. By naming both the worker and the limits of his section, the verse gives a concrete record of how the rebuilding work was divided.

Binnui’s section ran from Azariah’s house to a place where the wall changed direction. The words “another piece” identify this as an additional section of work.

The Hebrew behind Nehemiah 3:24

• “repaired” — חָזַק (ḥazaq): The word can mean “made strong.” Here it describes work that strengthened the damaged wall, not merely cleaning or decorating it.
• “another” — שֵׁנִי (sheni): The word often means “second.” It marks Binnui’s assignment as an additional section rather than a first one.

Why Nehemiah 3:24 matters

• The verse locates the work by familiar landmarks. “The house of Azariah” and the wall’s turning and corner would help identify the section being described.
• The record follows the wall from one assignment to the next. “After him” connects Binnui’s work with the preceding entry, helping readers follow the route of the repairs.
