Nehemiah 4:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ Then I said to the ·important people [nobles], the ·leaders [officials], and everyone else, “This is ·a very big job [demanding work]. We are spread out along the wall so that we are far apart. ²⁰ Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, ·assemble there [rally to us here]. Our God will fight for us.”

²¹ So we continued to work with half the men holding spears from ·sunrise [dawn] till the stars came out.
