Explanation preview
Nehemiah 3 is a roster of the teams that rebuilt Jerusalem's wall, and verse 13 names Hanun and the people of Zanoah, a town in the Judean hills southwest of the city. They took the Valley Gate, so called because it opened toward the valley west of Jerusalem, and restored its doors, bolts and bars, then carried the work a thousand cubits along the wall to the Dung Gate.
