Nehemiah 3:27 meaning and explanation

And next to them, the Tekoites repaired another section, from a point opposite the great tower that juts out to the wall of Ophel.

Nehemiah 3:27, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Nehemiah 3 is a roster of the teams rebuilding Jerusalem's wall, and this verse names the men of Tekoa, a town south of Jerusalem, working a second stretch opposite the great projecting tower near Ophel, the ridge south of the temple mount. The phrase "another section" links back to verse 5, where the same Tekoites had already repaired a portion while their nobles refused to work.
