Nehemiah 3:1-6

1The chief priest Eliashib and his relatives, the priests, started by rebuilding Sheep Gate. They dedicated it and set its doors in place. They rebuilt as far as the Tower of the Hundred, which they dedicated, and then as far as the Tower of Hananel.

2The men from Jericho were rebuilding next to Eliashib. Zaccur, son of Imri, was next to them.

3The sons of Hassenaah rebuilt Fish Gate. They laid its beams and set its doors, locks, and bars in place.

4Next to them Meremoth, son of Uriah and grandson of Hakkoz, made repairs. Next to them Meshullam, son of Berechiah and grandson of Meshezabel, made repairs. Next to them Zadok, son of Baana, made repairs.

5Next to them the men from Tekoa made repairs. However, the nobles wouldn’t lower themselves to work under supervisors.

6Joiada, Paseah’s son, and Meshullam, Besodeiah’s son, made repairs on Old Gate. They laid its beams and set its doors, locks, and bars in place.
