SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:38
Y el segundo coro iba del lado opuesto, y yo en pos de él, con la mitad del pueblo sobre el muro, desde la torre de los Hornos hasta el muro ancho;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 12:38
Verse 38. The broad wall] What part this was, we know not: it might have been a place designed for a public promenade, or a parade for assembling the troops or guard of the temple.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 38. And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them , etc.] On the left hand, on the northern part of the wall: and I after them ; Nehemiah, he brought up the rear of his company, as Ezra led the van of his: and the half of the people upon the wall ; the chief of them, for all could not walk upon it: from beyond the tower of the furnaces ; where they baked their bread, or their bricks, (see Nehemiah 3:11), even unto the broad wall ; where the wall was broader than common, for some reason or another, (see Nehemiah 3:8).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-43 - All our cities, all our houses, must have holiness to the Lord writte upon them. The believer should undertake nothing which he does no dedicate to the Lord. We are concerned to cleanse our hands, and purif our hearts, when any work for God is to pass through them. Those tha would be employed to sanctify others, must sanctify themselves, and se themselves apart for God. To those who are sanctified, all their creature-comforts and enjoyments are made holy. The people greatl rejoiced. All that share in public mercies, ought to join in publi thanksgivings.
