The Levites participate prominently in the reconstruction, with text indicating that "the Levites repaired" their assigned section and rebuilt gates and doors; the explicit inclusion of Levites—the priestly support class—in the physical reconstruction demonstrates that restoration is not merely a lay endeavor but involves the entire community including the religious functionaries. The Levites' participation in manual construction work (alongside their later liturgical functions) illustrates the all-encompassing nature of the restoration and the willingness of all social classes to contribute physical labor toward the common goal.
