Poole: Neh 4:10 - And Judah said // There is much rubbish // We are not able to build the wall

And Judah said i.e. the Jews now dwelling in Judah, to wit, some of them, being partly terrified by their enemies, and partly wearied with hard and continual labours.

There is much rubbish more than we are able suddenly to remove.

We are not able to build the wall being forced to spend our time in removing the rubbish, and other works imposed upon us; and therefore we must desist at least for a season.

Haydock: Neh 4:10 - Juda // Burdens // Rubbish

Juda. Some of the Jews, (Menochius) who were dispirited at the greatness of the work and the threats of the enemy. ---

Burdens. Septuagint, "of the enemies." Arabic, "the Jews were strengthened, there were many porters, but they could not finish the work." (Calmet) ---

Rubbish to be removed. (Tirinus)

Gill: Neh 4:10 - And Judah said // the strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed // and there is much rubbish // so that we are not able to build the wall

And Judah said,.... Several of the men of Judah:

the strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed; through much labour, in carrying heavy loads of stone and timber to the builders, and yet more through fear of the enemy:

and there is much rubbish; which ought to be removed, but that the labourers were so weak that they could not do it:

so that we are not able to build the wall; to finish it before the enemy comes to attack us.
