Parallels

  • Nehemiah 2:17-18 (thematic): Nehemiah's initial proclamation to rebuild Jerusalem's walls and gates sets the immediate context for the detailed listing in Neh 3, where the priests (beginning with Eliashib) undertake the Sheep Gate.
  • Nehemiah 12:39 (structural): The dedication procession at the completed wall names the same landmarks (the Sheep Gate and Tower of Hananel), linking the building work of Neh 3:1 with the later ceremonial dedication.
  • Jeremiah 31:38-40 (verbal): Jeremiah's prophetic vision of a rebuilt Jerusalem explicitly mentions the Tower of Hananel and the city's gates, echoing the same topographical markers named in Neh 3:1.
  • 1 Chronicles 9:17-27 (structural): This passage lists gatekeepers and their assignments, including duties associated with the Sheep Gate, reflecting the longstanding association of specific gates with priestly/Levitical service as in Neh 3:1.

Parallels

  • Nehemiah 3:1 (structural): Opens the same chapter’s list of repairers with the same chiastic list-pattern (naming a leading builder and adjoining workers), showing the literary formula used throughout the chapter.
  • Nehemiah 3:3 (verbal): Uses the repeated phrasing of adjoining builders (“next unto them/unto him built…”), mirroring the verbal formula found in v.2 that ties individuals to specific stretches of the wall.
  • Nehemiah 3:6 (thematic): Another example in the chapter of individual families/men (and their patronymics) assigned specific sections of the wall to rebuild, illustrating the communal, parcelled nature of the reconstruction described in v.2.
  • Nehemiah 3:8 (verbal): Continues the same cataloguing technique—naming a person and his father and stating who rebuilt which section—paralleling the personal attribution (Zaccur son of Imri) found in v.2.

  • Nehemiah 3:13 (verbal): Another passage in the chapter that repeats the language of repairing towers/gates and setting up doors, bolts and bars, paralleling the modus operandi recorded at the Fish Gate.
  • Nehemiah 2:8 (thematic): Nehemiah’s request to the king for timber to ‘set up the gates’ of the temple and city precedes and provides the logistical/administrative backdrop for the gate repairs like the Fish Gate.
