📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Nehemiah, which is set after the Babylonian exile, the Jews had returned to Jerusalem but found the city walls in ruins, making it vulnerable to enemies and symbolizing their weakened state. Nehemiah, a Jewish leader and cupbearer to the Persian king Artaxerxes, was deeply concerned and decided to inspect the damage secretly at night to avoid drawing attention. This inspection was a crucial step in his plan to rally the people for rebuilding, as the destroyed walls represented not just physical danger but also spiritual and national disgrace.
