Back: 1 Peter 2
The wall rebuilt, the gates in place, and the Levites and singers established restoring order.

Then work began on populating the city and that started by assessing who was there already. A chapter showing the importance of order to God and putting things the way He ordained them to be. Our lives are no different than this city, we should strive to put and keep them in order as it is good and pleasing to God according to His will for us.

1 Peter 2 & Nehemiah 7
No time to ever relax in the family of God. Nehemiah assigned each family to protect a section of the city near their home. And the dates closed at night.
