“After him repaired Malchiah the goldsmith’s son unto the place of the Nethinims, and of the merchants, over against the gate Miphkad, and to the going up of the corner.”
The Inspection Gate and the Sheep Gate are mentioned, indicating that the reconstruction proceeds systematically around the entire perimeter, returning eventually to the starting point; the reference to the Sheep Gate (where the reconstruction began in verse 1) suggests that the account has traced the entire wall perimeter and returns to the beginning, confirming the comprehensive character of the restoration. The detailed documentation of these 32 verses constitutes an impressive catalog of the community's mobilization and the distribution of responsibility for the reconstruction project.
