Both have their own book in the Old Testament narrating their actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first was a priest who dedicated himself to making the religious reforms necessary for his people to <\/span><b>recover their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/faith-according-bible\/\">faith<\/a><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and thus reestablish the law that Moses received at the top of Mount Sinai in the Exodus and that had been quite forgotten by many.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nehemiah, on the other hand, was a <\/span><b>governor of the region <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who felt the need to go there given the disastrous state of Jerusalem and the lack of success of Ezra&#8217;s reforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Nehemiah set about making further social reforms, always in accordance with those that Ezra had already made, and he also <\/span><b>rebuilt the walls of the great city<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the great city, although it was by no means an easy task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also continued with <\/span><b>religious reforms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Ezra and, as you can see in this chapter, he attempted to institute the Lord&#8217;s Day, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sabbath <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewish Sabbath, which later became the Christian Sunday for us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, all these changes clashed with the inhabitants who had remained in Jerusalem while the others went into exile, and on numerous occasions they <\/span><b>boycotted them<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or minimized the effect of their reforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_of_Nehemiah\"><\/span><b>Book of Nehemiah<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nehemiah&#8217;s entire life and reforms are recorded in the Old Testament Book of Nehemiah,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0which you will find after Ezra in the final part of this volume.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a memoir<\/span><b>\u00a0written by Nehemiah<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> himself, relating everything that was happening in his life and with a part in which Ezra reads the Law of Moses to the people, between chapters 8 and 12 and, therefore, where we find today&#8217;s verse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it was a book written at the end of his life and by his own hand, it is granted a <\/span><b>high reliability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in all that is told; for it is not a book by a later author who has adapted a story to his pleasure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, Ezra and Nehemiah formerly formed <\/span><b>a single volume,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> given the obvious links between the two biblical characters.
