Nehemiah 4:21-23

Jubilee Bible 2000

²¹ So we laboured in the work, and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.

²² Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let each one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that by night they may be a guard to us, and labour by day.

²³ So neither I nor my brethren nor my servants nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us put off our clothes, each one put them off only for washing.
