The work was organized in sections, with each group responsible for a specific part.

His lineage, being a descendant of Hakkoz, suggests a priestly background, as Hakkoz is listed among the priestly families in <a href="/1_chronicles/24-10.htm">1 Chronicles 24:10</a>. This highlights the involvement of religious leaders in the physical and spiritual restoration of Jerusalem.<p><b>repaired another section</b><br>The word "repaired" indicates restoration and renewal, a theme prevalent throughout Nehemiah. The rebuilding of the wall symbolizes the restoration of the community's identity and security. This act of repairing can be seen as a type of Christ's work in restoring humanity to God, as seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/61-4.htm">Isaiah 61:4</a>.<p><b>from the doorway of the house of Eliashib</b><br>Eliashib was the high priest at the time (<a href="/nehemiah/3.htm">Nehemiah 3:1</a>).

The doorway symbolizes access and entry, possibly alluding to Christ as the door (<a href="/john/10-9.htm">John 10:9</a>), through whom believers enter into salvation.<p><b>to the end of the house</b><br>This phrase suggests completion and thoroughness in the work. The "end" signifies the goal or fulfillment of a task, paralleling the idea of Christ as the "author and finisher of our faith" (<a href="/hebrews/12-2.htm">Hebrews 12:2</a>).
