Nehemiah 3:7-9
Evangelical Heritage Version
7 Next to them Melatiah the Gibeonite and Jadon the Meronothite repaired the wall with the men from Gibeon and Mizpah, who lived under the jurisdiction of the governor of Trans-Euphrates.
8 Next to them Uzziel son of Harhaiah, one of the goldsmiths, repaired the wall.
Next to him Hananiah, one of the perfumers, repaired the wall. (However, they abandoned the part of Jerusalem that had been enclosed by the Broad Wall.[a])

Footnotes
- Nehemiah 3:8 The Hebrew verb azav usually means abandon. The part of Jerusalem on the Western Hill, which had been enclosed by the Broad Wall, was not included in the reconstruction. If we take azav in the rare meaning rebuild, and we translate they rebuilt Jerusalem as far as the Broad Wall, this would not change the meaning, since it would mean that they rebuilt up to, but not including, the Broad Wall.
