Nehemiah Introduction

The Book of Nehemiah

Fourteen years after the return of Ezra to Jerusalem, Nehemiah led up a company (B.C. 444) and restored the walls and the civil authority. Of those events this book is the record. It is in eight divisions:

  1. The journey to Jerusalem, Neh 1:1 - Neh 2:20
  2. The building of the wall, Neh 3:1 - Neh 6:19.
  3. The census, Neh 7:1-73.
  4. The revival, Neh 8:1 - Neh 11:36.
  5. The census of the priests and Levites, Neh 12:1-26.
  6. Dedication of the wall, Neh 12:27-43.
  7. Restoration of the temple worship, Neh 12:44-47.
  8. The legal order restored, Neh 13:1-31.

The moral state of the time is disclosed by the prophet Malachi. This book affords many instances of individual faith acting on the written word (e.g. Nehemiah 1:8, 9; 13:1). It is the principle of 2 Timothy 2.

The events recorded in Nehemiah cover a period of 11 years (Ussher).
