Good Morning, Dan! :-)

Quite a feat to rebuild the wall in 52 days. Nehemiah, from what I have read, was a capable, generous administrator of the province. Great choice of illustrations!

I have an issue with #41. I thought from scripture Nehemiah circumnavigated the city at night, looking at all the gates and walls.

Re-reading it, I think was was wrong.

13 By night I went out through the Valley Gate toward the Jackal Well and the Dung Gate, examining the walls of Jerusalem, which had been broken down, and its gates, which had been destroyed by fire.

14 Then I moved on toward the Fountain Gate and the King’s Pool, but there was not enough room for my mount to get through; 15 so I went up the valley by night, examining the wall.

Finally, I turned back and reentered through the Valley Gate.

So Nehemiah DID turn back. My only quibble is when. v. 15 says ‘he went up the valley’ ie, the Kidron valley. Uphill is to the north. I believe he didn’t turn back until the eastern wall turned and became the northern wall.

Thanks for teaching me and everyone else with your series!

14 The Dung Gate was repaired… [What a relief!]

LOL! By the way, maybe their slogan was MJGA (Make Jerusalem Great Again)
