The name Jeshua is a variant of Joshua, meaning "The Lord is salvation." This highlights the theme of divine assistance and salvation throughout the rebuilding efforts. Ezer's position "next to him" indicates the collaborative nature of the work, emphasizing unity among the Israelites. This cooperation is a recurring theme in Nehemiah, reflecting the communal effort required to restore Jerusalem.<p><b>ruler of Mizpah</b><br>Mizpah was a significant location in the territory of Benjamin, often serving as a gathering place for Israel. As a ruler, Ezer held a position of authority and responsibility, suggesting that leaders were actively involved in the physical labor of rebuilding. This involvement of leaders can be seen as a model of servant leadership, aligning with biblical principles found in passages like <a href="/mark/10-42.htm">Mark 10:42-45</a>, where Jesus teaches about leadership through service.<p><b>repaired another section</b><br>The phrase "repaired another section" indicates the systematic approach to rebuilding the wall, with different groups assigned specific sections. This methodical division of labor ensured efficiency and thoroughness. The Hebrew word for "repaired" implies restoration to a former state, symbolizing spiritual renewal and the restoration of God's people.<p><b>opposite the ascent to the armory</b><br>The "ascent to the armory" likely refers to a strategic location within the city, possibly a fortified area used for storing weapons. This highlights the importance of defense and protection in the rebuilding process. The armory's mention underscores the need for vigilance and preparedness, themes echoed in <a href="/ephesians/6-10.htm">Ephesians 6:10-18</a>, where believers are called to put on the full armor of God.<p><b>near the angle in the wall</b><br>The "angle in the wall" suggests a corner or turning point, which would have been a structurally significant part of the wall. Corners were often vulnerable points in ancient city defenses, requiring careful construction and reinforcement. This detail emphasizes the meticulous attention to detail in the rebuilding process, reflecting the broader biblical theme of God as a master builder, as seen in passages like <a href="/hebrews/11-10.htm">Hebrews 11:10</a>, which speaks of a city with foundations designed by God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezer.htm">Ezer</a></b><br>A leader involved in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall.
