Matthew Henry on Nehemiah 3:8
Several good honest tradesmen, as well as priests and rulers, were active in this work—goldsmiths, apothecaries, merchants, v. 8, 32. They did not think their callings excused them, nor plead that they could not leave their shops to attend the public business, knowing that what they lost would certainly be made up to them by the blessing of God upon their callings.
