Gill's Notes on the Bible
So built we the wall,.... Went on in building it, notwithstanding their scoffs and threats:
and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof; it was carried all round the city to half the height of it:
for the people had a mind to work; their heart was in it, they had a good will to it, and they made haste to finish it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Unto the half thereof - i. e. to half the intended height.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 4:6. For the people had a mind to work. — The original is very emphatic: ויהי לב לעם לעשות vayehi leb leam laasoth, "For the people had a heart to work." Their hearts were engaged in it; and where the heart is engaged, the work of God goes on well. The whole of this 6th verse is omitted by the Septuagint.
