Question:
What was the length of the Jerusalem walls Nehemiah had to rebuild?

Answer:
The best answer is actually from a quote by Josephus which states the circumference of Jerusalem in his day as 33 stadia, which equals 4.5 English miles. That would make the area within the walls of Jerusalem about 960 acres, 1.5 sq.mi. Many archeologists believe that the walls of Jerusalem were about the same in both Nehemiah's day and Jesus' day.

Question:
What materials did Nehemiah use to rebuild the wall and gates of Jerusalem?

Answer:
The walls were rebuilt using the materials from the rubble of the former walls, with some wooden beams in parts.

Question:
How long did it take Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem?

Answer:
It took Nehemiah 52 days to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah 6:15 (Holman Christian Stand Bible). The wall was completed in 52 days, on the twenty-fifth day of the month Ellul.

Question:
How did Nehemiah assume responsibility for rebuilding the wall?

Answer:
Nehemiah arrived from Persia to become the governor of Judah in 445 BC. As governor, he was responsible for any civil constructions that took place. The Persian king appears to have approved the assignment.
