Nehemiah leads the people to pray and work. The walls are rebuilt, but the city is still empty. The people began to fill their towns and gathered at the water gate. There Ezra reads the law, and the people reinstitute the feast of trumpets (their new year!) Those one cast away are brought back and now feast at the Lord's table with joy.
