Nehemiah 4:16-23

16AndH1961 fromH4480 thatH1931 day onH3117, halfH2677 of my servantsH5288 didH6213 the workH4399 while the other halfH2677 heldH2388 spearsH7420, shieldsH4043, bowsH7198, and armorH8302.

The officersH8269 stationed themselves behindH310 allH3605 the peopleH1004 of JudahH3063 17who were rebuildingH1129 the wallH2346. The laborers who carriedH5375 materialsH5447H6006 workedH6213H4399 with oneH259 handH3027 and heldH2388 a weaponH7973 with the otherH259. 18And eachH376 of the buildersH1129 workedH1129 with his swordH2719 strappedH631 atH5921 his sideH4975. But the trumpeterH8628H7782 stayed beside meH681.

19Then I saidH559 toH413 the noblesH2715H413, the officialsH5461H413, and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971: “The workH4399 is greatH7235 and extensiveH7342, and weH587 are spread outH6504 farH7350 from oneH376 anotherH251 alongH5921 the wallH2346. 20WhereverH4725 you hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the hornH7782, rallyH6908 to usH413 thereH8033. Our GodH430 will fightH3898 for us!”

21So weH587 continuedH6213 the workH4399, while half ofH2677 the men heldH2388 spearsH7420 from the breakH5927 of dawnH7837 untilH5704 the starsH3556 came outH3318. 22At thatH1931 timeH6256 I alsoH1571 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “Let every manH376 and his servantH5288 spend the nightH3885 insideH8432 JerusalemH3389, so that they can standH1961 guardH4929 by nightH3915 and workH4399 by dayH3117.”

23So neither IH589 nor my brothersH251 nor my servantsH5288H376 nor the guardsH4929 with meH310H369H587 changed out ofH6584 our clothesH899; eachH376 carried his weaponH7973, even to go for waterH4325.1
