Then they went on to the Tower of Hananel. 2 Next to them, the people of Jericho built part of the wall, and Zaccur son of Imri built next to them. 3 The sons of Hassenaah rebuilt the Fish Gate, laying its boards and setting its doors, bolts, and bars in place. 4 Meremoth son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, made repairs next to them.

Cross-References

Genesis 4:10
Then the Lord said, "What have you done? Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
Psalms 50:21
I have kept quiet while you did these things, so you thought I was just like you. But I will scold you and accuse you to your face.
Romans 3:20
because no one can be made right with God by following the law. The law only shows us our sin.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahathmoab,.... The fathers of these were heads of families that came out of captivity with Zerubbabel, Ezra 2:6

repaired the other piece: or second piece, below and next to that which Hattush repaired, the last builder mentioned:

and the tower of the furnaces; near to which were furnaces for the baking of bread, or of bricks.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The other piece - Rather, “another piece” (as in Nehemiah 3:19, Nehemiah 3:21, Nehemiah 3:27, Nehemiah 3:30). It is conjectured that a verse has fallen out in which Malchijah’s and Hashub’s “first piece” was mentioned.

The tower of the furnaces - Either a tower at the northwestern angle of the city; or, midway in the western wall. The origin of the name is uncertain.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Nehemiah 3:11. Repaired the other piece — That which was left by Jedaiah after he had repaired the wall opposite to his own house. Probably some of the principal people were obliged to repair those parts of the wall opposite to their own dwellings. Perhaps this was the case generally.
