Neh. 7:1 Gatekeepers, singers, Levites is a typical grouping of worship officials (see Ezra 2:40–42). It is surprising to find them guarding the walls. Yet protecting the city was ultimately related to establishing the worship of Yahweh in his temple.
Neh. 7:2–3 On Hanani, see 1:2. He and Hananiah possibly replace the “rulers” named in 3:9, 12. The appointed guards live in the city and so they are most committed to it.
Neh. 7:4 Apparently the people are relatively few. Building houses has taken second place to reconstructing the walls.
Neh. 7:5–73 A Record of Those Who Returned from Exile. Nehemiah lists the returned exiles from the time of Zerubbabel.
Neh. 7:5 my God put it into my heart. See 2:12. As seen in his frequent prayers, Nehemiah maintains a close relationship with the Lord. He decides to take a census of the people. He is helped by the discovery of the book of the genealogy of the first returnees.
Neh. 7:6–73 This list is virtually identical to the one in Ezra 2 (see notes there). Nehemiah’s next concern is to repopulate Jerusalem (see Neh. 7:4).
