The Book of Nehemiah is a companion book to Ezra, and indeed formed originally one book with it. The chief document upon which it is based must have been from the hand of Nehemiah himself, consisting, as it does, mainly if not wholly of the personal memoirs of Nehemiah, another historical source of first rank which the chronicler seems to have incorporated complete in his book.

In contents, the book takes up the story of Judea perhaps a dozen years after Ezra's reformation. It tells of the partial restoration of the political power of the Jews, the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem, which made the city once more a mighty fortress.

This important project was undertaken under the leadership of Nehemiah, a Hebrew who, being high in the confidence of the Persian monarch, Artaxerxes, received permission to restore Jerusalem. To this purpose Nehemiah devoted all his great wealth, his energy, his wisdom and his courage. The work being accomplished, Ezra the priest and Nehemiah the governor united in an effort to establish fully and forever the religious faith of the nation on the basis of the priestly law. The ancient covenant of the Israelites with God was renewed with solemn ceremony. Then Nehemiah tells of the backsliding of the people, and of his struggles to restrain them. The book closes with his personal prayer to God.

So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.

And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes, for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
