Rebuilding the Wall of Jerusalem

3 This is how the city wall was rebuilt.^[a] The High Priest Eliashib and his fellow priests rebuilt the Sheep Gate, dedicated it, and put the gates in place. They dedicated the wall as far as the Tower of the Hundred and the Tower of Hananel.

²⁰ Baruch son of Zabbai built the next section, as far as the entrance to the house of the High Priest Eliashib;

²¹ Meremoth, the son of Uriah and grandson of Hakkoz, built the next section, up to the far end of Eliashib's house.
