Nehemiah 4:15-17
Guard by Night, Work by Day
Work and Watch · Nehemiah 4
Story guide: From dawn to stars they work and guard, sleeping inside the city fully clothed and ready even when they fetch water.
Open this scene in the reader →15So we kept doing the work, while half of them held the spears from the rising of the dawn until the coming out of the stars.
16Also at that time I said to the people, “Let each man and his servant spend the night within Jerusalem, and let them be a guard for us by night and workers by day.”
17And neither I, nor my brothers, nor my young men, nor the men of the guard who were behind me, took off our clothes; each kept his weapon in his right hand, even for water.
