Nehemiah 4:16-23

16And from that dayH3117 on, halfH2677 of my servantsH5288 carriedH6213 on the workH4399 while halfH2677 of them kept holdH2388 of the spearsH7420, the shieldsH4043, the bowsH7198, and the coatsH8302 ofH8302 mailH8302; and the captainsH8269 were behindH310 allH3605 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063. 17Those who were rebuildingH1129 the wallH2346 and those who carriedH5375 burdensH5447 carriedH6006 with oneH259 handH3027 doingH6213 the workH4399, and the otherH259 keeping holdH2388 of a weaponH7973. 18As for the buildersH1129, eachH376 wore his swordH2719 strappedH631 to his waistH4975 as he builtH1129, while 1the trumpeterH8628H7782 stood nearH681 me. 19And I 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, assembleH6908 to us thereH8033. 2Our GodH430 will fightH3898 for us.”

21So we carriedH6213 on the workH4399 with halfH2677 of them holdingH2388 spearsH7420 from 3dawnH5927H7837 untilH5704 the starsH3556 4appearedH3318. 22At that timeH6256 I alsoH1571 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “EachH376 manH376 with his servantH5288 shall spendH3885 theH3885 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 5removedH6584 our clothesH899; eachH376 took his weaponH7973 even to the waterH4325.
