Nehemiah 13:31
And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good. (Nehemiah 13:31)
The wood offering.
 Persons were appointed to oversee the collection of the wood offering (ch. 10:34), and of the first fruits (ch. 10:35-37).
Remember me.
 Nehemiah closes his book with an expression characteristic of his personality (see chs. 5:19; 13:14, 22, 29). One of the main features of Nehemiah’s life and work is his constant and intimate fellowship with the Source of all strength and wisdom. His prayers were the secret of his success (see chs. 1:4-11; 2:4; 4:4, 9; 5:19; 6:9, 14; 13:14, 22, 29).
