THE BOOK OF
NEHEMIAH
INTRODUCTION
The Book of Nehemiah may be divided into four parts: (1) The return of Nehemiah to Jerusalem, where he has been sent by the Persian emperor to govern Judah; (2) The rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem; (3) The solemn reading of the Law of God by Ezra, and the people's confession of sin; (4) Further activities of Nehemiah as governor of Judah.
A notable feature of the book is the record of Nehemiah's deep dependence on God and his frequent prayers to him.
