英語原文
Ne 3:1-32.
THE NAMES AND ORDER OF THEM THAT BUILDED THE WALL OF JERUSALEM.
1. Then Eliashib the high priest--the grandson of Jeshua, and the first high priest after the return from Babylon.
rose up with his brethren the priests--that is, set an example by commencing the work, their labors being confined to the sacred localities.
and they builded the sheep gate--close to the temple. Its name arose either from the sheep market, or from the pool of Bethesda, which was there
(Joh 5:2).
There the sheep were washed and then taken to the temple for sacrifice.
they sanctified it, and set up the doors--Being the common entrance into the temple, and the first part of the building repaired, it is probable that some religious ceremonies were observed in gratitude for its completion. "It was the first-fruits, and therefore, in the sanctification of it, the whole lump and building was sanctified" [POOLE].
the tower of Meah--This word is improperly considered, in our version, as the name of a tower; it is the Hebrew word for "a hundred," so that the meaning is: they not only rebuilt the sheep gate, but also a hundred cubits of the wall, which extended as far as the tower of Hananeel.

2. 其次是耶利哥人建造，等等——城牆被分成若干段，每段分別派給從被擄歸回的各大族。這樣安排使全城各處同時開工，精力充沛，極有利於迅速完工。「修復者所住的村莊多半都被提及，可見這一情形大致說明他們施工的那一段城牆，因為這些地方都位於離他們住處最近的那一側；唯一明顯的例外，也許是他們修補的超過了本段。他們完成了第一項任務（若還有別的工做的話），因靠他們住處的那一側已無可做之工，或者他們是在最鄰近自己住處的部分修繕工程已完工後才到的，便會到任何需要他們服務之處去」[BARCLAY, City of the Great King]。
英語原文
2. next unto him builded the men of Jericho, &c.--The wall was divided into portions, one of which was assigned respectively to each of the great families which had returned from the captivity. This distribution, by which the building was carried on in all parts simultaneously with great energy, was eminently favorable to despatch. "The villages where the restorers resided being mostly mentioned, it will be seen that this circumstance affords a general indication of the part of the wall upon which they labored, such places being on that side of the city nearest their place of abode; the only apparent exception being, perhaps, where they repaired more than their piece. Having completed their first undertaking (if they worked any more), there being no more work to be done on the side next their residence, or having arrived after the repairs on that part of the city nearest them under operation were completed, they would go wherever their services would be required" [BARCLAY, City of the Great King].

8. 他們修造耶路撒冷城牆直到寬牆——或作「雙重牆」，自以法蓮門至角門，長四百肘， 從前被以色列王約阿施所拆毀
[2Ch 25:23]，
後來烏西雅又重新修築
[2Ch 26:9]，
建得極其堅固，以致迦勒底人難以拆毀，便讓它存留原狀。
英語原文
8. they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall--or, "double wall," extending from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits in length, formerly broken down by Joash, king of Israel
[2Ch 25:23],
but afterwards rebuilt by Uzziah
[2Ch 26:9],
who made it so strong that the Chaldeans, finding it difficult to demolish, had left it standing.

26. 尼提寧人——不但祭司和利未人，連屬神殿的普通也參與了這項工作。修補耶路撒冷城牆之人的名字被記念，因為修補聖城乃是敬虔與愛國之工。護衛真敬拜神的人，使他們得以安靜穩妥地事奉祂，並在仇敵環伺之中繼續這工，敬虔地信靠神的大能來扶持他們——這是信仰與勇氣的實例 [BISHOP PATRICK]。
英語原文
26. the Nethinims--Not only the priests and the Levites, but the common persons that belonged to the house of God, contributed to the work. The names of those who repaired the walls of Jerusalem are commemorated because it was a work of piety and patriotism to repair the holy city. It was an instance of religion and courage to defend the true worshippers of God, that they might serve Him in quietness and safety, and, in the midst of so many enemies, go on with this work, piously confiding in the power of God to support them [BISHOP PATRICK].
Ne 3:1-32.
建造耶路撒冷城牆者之名與次序。
1. 大祭司以利亞實——約書亞的孫子，是歸回後首位大祭司。
和他的弟兄眾祭司起來——即以身作則率先動工，他們的工作局限於聖所一帶。
他們建立羊門——靠近聖殿。其名或因羊市而來，或因該處的畢士大池而來
（Joh 5:2）。
羊在那裡洗淨，然後被帶往聖殿獻為祭物。
他們分別為聖，安立門扇——由於這是進聖殿的公用入口，也是修繕工程最先完成的部分，可能在完工感恩時舉行了一些宗教儀式。「這是初熟的果子，因此在分別為聖時，全團全座建築也都分別為聖了」[POOLE]。
米亞樓——這詞在我們的譯本中被誤作一座樓的名稱；它其實是希伯來文中表示「一百」的詞，因此其意為：他們不僅重建了羊門，還重建了一百肘的城牆，這段城牆一直延伸到哈拿尼樓。
