Complete Jewish Bible
Finally, between the upper room at the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths and merchants made repairs. But when Sanvalat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he was furious. Greatly enraged, he ridiculed the Judeans; before his kinsmen and the army of Shomron he said, "What are these pathetic Judeans doing? Are they going to rebuild anything they want? Are they going to sacrifice? Are they going to finish today? Are they going to recover useful stones from the piles of rubble, burned rubble at that?" Toviyah the ‘Amoni was with him, and he said, "Whatever they're building, why, if even a fox went up it, he'd knock their stone wall down!" Our God, listen! We are being treated with contempt. Turn back their jeers on their own heads; give them over to be plundered in a land of exile. Don't cover their guilt, don't let their sin be wiped out from before you; because they have insulted the builders to their face. So we kept building the wall, which was soon joined together and completed to half its height all the way around; because the people worked with a will.

And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said: 'What do these feeble Jews? will they restore at will? will they sacrifice? will they make an end this day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned?' Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said: 'Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall break down their stone wall.' Hear, O our God; for we are despised; and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up to spoiling in a land of captivity; and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before Thee; for they have vexed Thee before the builders. So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto half the height thereof; for the people had a mind to work.

Contextual Overview
1 The name of the high priest was Eliashib. He and his brothers, the priests, went to work and built the Sheep Gate. They prayed to make that gate holy to God. They set its doors in place in the wall. The priests worked on the wall of Jerusalem as far as the Tower of the Hundred and the Tower of Hananel. They prayed to make all this work holy to God. 2 The men from Jericho built the wall next to the priests. And Zaccur son of a man named Imri built the wall next to the men of Jericho. 3 The sons of a man named Hassenaah built the Fish Gate. They set the beams in place. They put doors on the building. Then they put the locks and bolts on the doors. 4 Meremoth son of Uriah repaired the next section of the wall. (Uriah was the son of Hakkoz.) Meshullam son of Berekiah repaired the next section of the wall. (Berekiah was the son of Meshezabel.) Zadok son of Baana repaired the next section of the wall. 5 The men from Tekoa repaired the next section of the wall, but the leaders from Tekoa refused to work for Nehemiah their governor. 6 Joiada and Meshullam fixed the Old Gate. Joiada is the son of Paseah and Meshullam is the son of Besodeiah. They set the beams in place. They put the doors on the hinges. Then they put the locks and bolts on the doors. 7 The men from Gibeon and Mizpah fixed the next section of the wall. Melatiah from Gibeon and Jadon from Meronoth did the work.

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the sheep gate: Thus the whole city was surrounded with a wall; for Eliashib began at the sheep gate. Nehemiah 3:1, Nehemiah 12:39, John 5:2
the goldsmiths: The word tzeraphim may denote smiths, or refiners, or persons that worked in metals of any kind; but it is generally understood of those who worked in gold. From the remotest period of the history of the Jews, they had artists in all the elegant and ornamental trades; and it appears that goldsmiths, apothecaries, and merchants were formed into companies in the time of Nehemiah. Nehemiah 3:8, Nehemiah 3:31

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate,.... Where the building first began and where it now ended:
repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants; or druggists; which was done at their expense; and so the wall all round, with the gates of it, were rebuilt and repaired, which was all done in fifty two days, Nehemiah 6:15.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 3:32. The goldsmiths and the merchants. — The word ×צרפ×× hatstsorephim may signify smiths, or persons who worked in metals of any kind; but it is generally understood to mean those who worked in gold. I have already observed, that the mention of merchants and goldsmiths shows that these persons were formed into bodies corporate in those ancient times. But these terms are differently rendered in the versions. The Vulgate is the same as ours, which probably our translators copied: aurifices et negociatores. The Syriac is, goldsmiths and druggists. The Arabic, smelters of metal and porters. The Septuagint, in some copies, particularly in the Roman edition, and in the Complutensian, Antwerp, and Paris Polyglots, have Î¿Î¹Ì ÏÎ±Î»ÎºÎµÎ¹Ï ÎºÎ±Î¹ Î¿Î¹Ì Î¼ÎµÏαβολι, smiths and merchants; but in other copies, particularly the London Polyglot, for μεÏαβολοι we find ÏÏÏοÏÏλαι seller of shields. And here the learned reader will find a double mistake in the London Polyglot, ÏÌοÏοÏÏλαι for ÏÌÏÏοÏÏλαι, and in the Latin version scruta for scuta, neither of which conveys any sense.
