NEHEMIAH (Heb. for " Yah[weh] comforts ")

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 350 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NEHEMIAH (Heb. for " Yah[weh] comforts ") ,
governor
  of Judaea under Artaxerxes (apparently A. Longimanus, 465424 B.C.). The
book
  of
Nehemiah
  is really
part
  of the same
work
  with the
book
  of Ezra, though it embodies certain memoirs of
Nehemiah
  in which he writes in the first person. Apart from what is related in this book we possess little information about Nehemiah. The hymn of praise by Ben Sira (
Ecclesiasticus
  xlix. 13) extols his fame for rebuilding the desolate city of Jerusalem and for raising up fresh homes for the downtrodden
people
 . According to other traditions he restored the temple-service and founded a collection of historical documents (2 Mace. i. 18-36, ii. 13). See further EZRA AND NEHEMIAH (Books),
