Transcription: In an age when nomadic warriors posed a constant danger, a wall offered a city its only security. It was for lack of a wall that the Jews had scattered among neighbors and were now facing permanent assimilation into other cultures. By constructing a wall, Nehemiah could help make Jerusalem into a sacred city again and protect its residents by controlling who else came and went.
