Nehemiah 4:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ I told the people and their officials and leaders, “Our work is so spread out, that we are a long way from one another. ²⁰ If you hear the sound of the trumpet, come quickly and gather around me. Our God will help us fight.”

²¹ Every day from dawn to dark, half of the workers rebuilt the walls, while the rest stood guard with their spears.
