Nehemiah 7:1-4

1And it came to pass when the wallH2346 wasH1961 builtH1129, and I had setH5975 up the doorsH1817, that the doorkeepers and the singersH7891 and the LevitesH3881 were appointedH5975.

2And I gave my brotherH251 HananiH2607, and HananiahH2608 the ruler of the citadelH1002, charge over JerusalemH3389; for he was a faithful manH376 and fearedH3372 1GodH430 above manyH7227.

3And I saidH559 to them that the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 should not be openedH6605 until the sunH8121 was hot, and that they should shut the doorsH1817 and bar them while they stoodH5975 by; and that there should be appointedH5975 watches of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, every oneH376 in his watchH4931, and every oneH376 over against his houseH1004.

4Now the cityH5892 was largeH1419 and greatH1419; but the peopleH5971 in it were fewH4592, and no housesH1004 were builtH1129.
