Nehemiah 4:6

"Don’t cover their iniquity. Don’t let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have insulted the builders.”"

Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and addressing wrongdoing, rather than overlooking it. By refusing to cover or forgive the sins of those who have insulted the builders, Nehemiah calls for accountability and integrity in the face of offense and rebellion against communal efforts.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Unto the half thereof -i. e. to half the intended height.
