Nehemiah divided the huge task of repairing the wall among many families, all of whom worked side by side.a More than 40 different groups were assigned to repair one “measured section” each. The result? With so many workers​—including parents accompanied by their children—​giving their time and energy, a seemingly overwhelming task became manageable. (Nehemiah 3:11, 12, 19, 20) Within two action-packed months, the entire wall was repaired! Nehemiah wrote that even those who had opposed the repair work were forced to acknowledge that “it was from our God that this work had been done.”​—Nehemiah 6:15, 16.
