Finished in Fifty-Two Days

Name Date

Read the Story

The wall had no gaps left, but the doors were not yet hung. Sanballat and Geshem asked Nehemiah to meet them in a village. They planned to do him harm. Nehemiah sent back word that he was doing a great work and could not come down. They asked four times, and he gave the same answer.

Then Sanballat sent an open letter. It said Nehemiah wanted to be king. Nehemiah said none of it was true. He knew they wanted to scare the people. He prayed and asked God to make his hands strong.

A man named Shemaiah told Nehemiah to hide in the temple. But Nehemiah saw that God had not sent him. He would not run away. The wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days. The nations around were afraid. They saw that this work was done by God.

Nehemiah 6 · Grade 4

Faithful to the Finish

Name Date

Read and Think

The enemies saw the wall was nearly done. So they changed their plan. They asked Nehemiah to meet them in the plain of Ono. They meant to harm him. Nehemiah answered, I am doing a great work, so that I can't come down. They sent the same request four times, and he gave the same answer.

The fifth time, Sanballat sent an open letter. It claimed the Jews planned to rebel and Nehemiah wanted to be king. Nehemiah replied that these things were invented. He saw that they wanted to make the people afraid. So he prayed, But now, strengthen my hands.

Next a hired prophet urged Nehemiah to hide in the temple. Nehemiah saw that God had not sent him. Fleeing would have been sin and shame. So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days. Even the enemies lost their confidence. They saw that this work was done by our God.

Nehemiah 6 · Grade 5

A Great Work Completed

Name Date

Read and Think

With the wall nearly complete, the opposition shifted from open threats to subtle schemes. Sanballat and Geshem invited Nehemiah to a meeting in the plain of Ono, intending to do him mischief. His answer showed clear priorities: I am doing a great work, so that I can't come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and come down to you? Four times they asked; four times he refused.

Next came slander. An open letter accused the Jews of planning rebellion and Nehemiah of appointing prophets to proclaim him king. Nehemiah calmly denied it, saying they were inventing it out of their own heart. Seeing the aim was to weaken the people's hands, he prayed: But now, strengthen my hands. Then Shemaiah, hired by Tobiah and Sanballat, urged him to shut himself in the temple. Nehemiah perceived that God had not sent him. A layman entering the temple to save himself would have been sin.

The result is told simply: the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days. The surrounding nations were afraid and lost their confidence, for they perceived that this work was done by our God. In the New Testament, Paul urges believers to be steadfast, always abounding in the Lord's work, knowing their labor is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
