Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

with an open letter: This was a gross insult to a person of Nehemiah's quality; as the letters sent to chiefs and governors in the East are always carefully folded up, put in silk bags, and then sealed. 2 Kings 18:26-28, 2 Corinthians 2:11, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, Ephesians 6:11, 2 Thessalonians 2:10

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 21:8 - she wrote 2 Chronicles 32:17 - He wrote Jeremiah 29:25 - Because Acts 24:5 - and a mover

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time,.... In his own name, neither Tobiah nor Geshem joining with him, he being more solicitous and anxious to get him into his hands than any of them; and it may be, as some think, pretending more friendship for him than the rest, and therefore writes alone, as if they knew nothing of his writing:

with an open letter in his hand: which having in it an intimation of Nehemiah being guilty of treason, anyone that would might read it, and so spread the defamation.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The letter was “open,” in order that the contents might be generally known, and that the Jews, alarmed at the threats contained in it, might refuse to continue the work.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Nehemiah 6:5. With an open letter in his hand — This was an insult to a person of Nehemiah's quality: as letters sent to chiefs and governors in the East are always carefully folded up, and put in costly silken bags, and these carefully sealed. The circumstance is thus marked to show the contempt he (Sanballat) had for him.
