Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Nehemiah 3:21
After him repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah the son of Koz another piece, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib.
21. Urijah the son of Koz ] R.V. Uriah the son of Hakkoz.
another piece ] R.V. another portion. Meremoth was also concerned in the repair of the Northern wall. See on Neh 3:4.
even to the end ] This description seems to imply that the high-priest’s house was a building of considerable extent, and that it was built upon the city wall. The word rendered ‘end’ ( taclth) seems only to occur in this sense twice elsewhere in the O.T., Job 26:10, ‘confines,’ Job 28:3, ‘end.’ Elsewhere e.g. Psa 139:22 it is used to denote ‘perfection,’ ‘completeness.’ The words proved a difficulty to the versions, e.g. LXX. , Vulg. donec extenderetur.

Therefore the door was not in the middle of the house, as now they commonly are, but at one end of it.

After him repaired Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Koz, another piece,…. He had wrought before in another part, Ne 3:4, but having finished that, he sets his hand a second time to the work:
from the door of the house of Eliashib, even to the end of the house of Eliashib; the door of his house seems to have been at one end of it, and from that end to the other was a considerable length; he being a great man, the high priest, had a large house.

‘After him repaired Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz another portion, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib.’
This Meremoth was also responsible for another section of the wall in Neh 3:4, which see for details about him. But the section mentioned here does not appear to have been very large (it was the length of the High Priest’s house/palace). Meremoth was clearly seen by the High Priest as very reliable.

Neh 3:21 After him repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah the son of Koz another piece, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib.
Ver. 21. Even to the end of the house of Eliashib ] A small praise, saith one, if the house were not of some greatness. Eliashib was high priest, and dwelt, like himself, in a fair large house.

Neh 3:21. From the door of the house of Eliashib, &c. He carried on the work from the place where the other left off, from the door of the house to the end of it, which, being the house of a great man, we may suppose was very large.
