Nehemiah 4:16-23

16From that dayH3117 on, halfH2677 of my servantsH5288 carriedH6213 on the workH4399 while halfH2677 of them heldH2388 the spearsH7420, the shieldsH4043, the bowsH7198 and the breastplatesH8302; and the captainsH8269 were behindH310 the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of JudahH3063. 17Those who were rebuildingH1129 the wallH2346 and those who carriedH5375 burdensH5447 tookH6006 their loadH6006 with oneH259 handH3027 doingH6213 the workH4399 and the otherH259 holdingH2388 a weaponH7973. 18As for the buildersH1129, eachH376 wore his swordH2719 girdedH631 at his sideH4975 as he builtH1129, while 1the trumpeterH8628H7782 stood nearH681 me. 19I saidH559 to the noblesH2715, the officialsH5461 and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, “The workH4399 is greatH7235 and extensiveH7342, and we are separatedH6504 on the wallH2346 farH7350 from oneH376 anotherH251. 20At whateverH834 placeH4725 you hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, 2rallyH6908 to us thereH8033. 3Our GodH430 will fightH3898 for us.”

21So we carriedH6213 on the workH4399 with halfH2677 of them holdingH2388 spearsH7420 from 4dawnH5927H7837 untilH5704 the starsH3556 5appearedH3318. 22At that timeH6256 I alsoH1571 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “Let eachH376 manH376 with his servantH5288 spendH3885 the nightH3885 withinH8432 JerusalemH3389 so that they may be a guardH4929 for us by nightH3915 and a laborerH4399 by dayH3117.” 23So neitherH369 I, my brothersH251, my servantsH5288, norH369 the menH376 of the guardH4929 whoH834 followedH310 me, noneH369 of us removedH6584 our clothesH899, eachH376 took his weaponH7973 even to the waterH4325.
