Nehemiah 7:1-5

1Now it came to pass, when the wallH2346 was builtH1129, and I had set upH5975 the doorsH1817, and the portersH7778 and the singersH7891 and the LevitesH3881 were appointedH6485, 2That I gave my brotherH251 HananiH2607, and HananiahH2608 the rulerH8269 of the palaceH1002, chargeH6680 over JerusalemH3389: for he was a faithfulH571 manH376, and fearedH3372 GodH430 above manyH7227. 3And I saidH559 unto them, Let not the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 be openedH6605 until the sunH8121 be hotH2527; and while they stand byH5975, let them shutH1479 the doorsH1817, and barH270 them: and appointH5975 watchesH4931 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, every oneH376 in his watchH4929, and every oneH376 to be over against his houseH1004. 4Now the cityH5892 was largeH3027H7342 and greatH1419: but the peopleH5971 were fewH4592 thereinH8432, and the housesH1004 were not buildedH1129.1
