SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:31
Después de él restauró Malquías hijo del platero, hasta la casa de los netineos y de los tratantes, enfrente de la puerta del Juicio, y hasta la sala de la esquina.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. After him repaired Malchiah, the goldsmith’s son , etc.] Or the son of Tzoreph, as some, so called from his business: unto the place of the Nethinims, and of the merchants ; he repaired up to the place where these dwelt: over against the gate Miphkad ; where some think was an house of visitation or correction; and others, where the sanhedrim sat, tried causes, and exercised justice: and to the going up of the corner ; from the east to the north.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. --The work was divided, so that every one might know what he had to do and mind it, with a desire to excel; yet without contention, or separate interests. No strife appears among them, but which should d most for the public good. Every Israelite should lend a hand toward the building up of Jerusalem. Let not nobles think any thing below them, by which they may advance the good of their country. Even some female helped forward the work. Some repaired over against their houses, an one repaired over against his chamber. When a general good work is to be done, each should apply himself to that part which is within his reach. If every one will sweep before his own door, the street will be clean; if every one will mend one, we shall all be mended. Some tha had first done helped their fellows. The walls of Jerusalem, in heap of rubbish, represent the desperate state of the world around, whil the number and malice of those who hindered the building, give some faint idea of the enemies we have to contend with, while executing the work of God. Every one must begin at home; for it is by getting the work of God advanced in our own souls that we shall best contribute to the good of the church of Christ. May the Lord thus stir up the heart of his people, to lay aside their petty disputes, and to disregar their worldly interests, compared with building the walls of Jerusalem and defending the cause of truth and godliness against the assaults of avowed enemies __________________________________________________________________
