The verse highlights that 'Ezer... the ruler of Mizpah' personally took on a section of the wall. Commentator Matthew Henry notes this as a key principle: leaders and nobles did not see the work as beneath them. This demonstrates that in God's work, leadership involves humble, hands-on participation, setting an example for all.
