Around 450 years before Jesus, the
prophet Nehemiah heard some bad news about conditions in Jerusalem. The
city still lay in ruins following an invasion by the Babylonian army many
years before. The news caused Nehemiah to sit down and cry. After mourning
for days, he felt that he should lead men to rebuild the wall and gates
around Jerusalem. He organized a work force and, despite some opposition,

A well-known verse describes the accomplishment:
“So we rebuilt the wall, and all the wall was joined together to half its
height; for the people had a mind to ________.”
