Persevering With People
Chapter 7 starts with three verses describing the precautions that Nehemiah took to guard the city against attack, and that wraps up the first half of the book. Verses 4-73 look forward to the reforms of the second half of the book by showing how Nehemiah went about repopulating the city. The entirety of the chapter is lesson in perseverance with people.
