Nehemiah 4:9-21

Nevertheless we made our prayer
<06419> (8691)
unto our God
<0430>_,
and set
<05975> (8686)
a watch
<04929>
against them day
<03119>
and night
<03915>_,
because
<06440>
of them.
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
The strength
<03581>
of the bearers of burdens
<05449>
is decayed
<03782> (8804)_,
and [there is] much
<07235> (8687)
rubbish
<06083>_;
so that we are not able
<03201> (8799)
to build
<01129> (8800)
the wall
<02346>_.
And our adversaries
<06862>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
They shall not know
<03045> (8799)_,
neither see
<07200> (8799)_,
till we come
<0935> (8799)
in the midst
<08432>
among
<08432>
them, and slay
<02026> (8804)
them, and cause the work
<04399>
to cease
<07673> (8689)_.
And it came to pass, that when the Jews
<03064>
which dwelt
<03427> (8802)
by them
<0681>
came
<0935> (8804)_,
they said
<0559> (8799)
unto us ten
<06235>
times
<06471>_,
From all places
<04725>
whence ye shall return
<07725> (8799)
unto us [they will be upon you]. {From all...: or, That from all places ye must return to us}
Therefore set
<05975> (8686)
I in the lower
<08482>
places
<04725>
behind
<0310>
the wall
<02346>_,
[and] on the higher places
<06706> (8675) <06708>_,
I even set
<05975> (8686)
the people
<05971>
after their families
<04940>
with their swords
<02719>_,
their spears
<07420>_,
and their bows
<07198>_.
{in the...: Heb. from the lower parts of the place, etc}
And I looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the nobles
<02715>_,
and to the rulers
<05461>_,
and to the rest
<03499>
of the people
<05971>_,
Be not ye afraid
<03372> (8799)
of them
<06440>_:
remember
<02142> (8798)
the Lord
<0136>_,
[which is] great
<01419>
and terrible
<03372> (8737)_,
and fight
<03898> (8734)
for your brethren
<0251>_,
your sons
<01121>_,
and your daughters
<01323>_,
your wives
<0802>_,
and your houses
<01004>_.
And it came to pass, when our enemies
<0341> (8802)
heard
<08085> (8804)
that it was known
<03045> (8738)
unto us, and God
<0430>
had brought
<06565> (0)
their counsel
<06098>
to nought
<06565> (8686)_,
that we returned
<07725> (8799)
all of us to the wall
<02346>_,
every one
<0376>
unto his work
<04399>_.
And it came to pass from that time
<03117>
forth, [that] the half
<02677>
of my servants
<05288>
wrought
<06213> (8802)
in the work
<04399>_,
and the other half
<02677>
of them held
<02388> (8688)
both the spears
<07420>_,
the shields
<04043>_,
and the bows
<07198>_,
and the habergeons
<08302>_;
and the rulers
<08269>
[were] behind
<0310>
all the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_.
They which builded
<01129> (8802)
on the wall
<02346>_,
and they that bare
<05375> (8802)
burdens
<05447>_,
with those that laded
<06006> (8802)_,
[every one] with one
<0259>
of his hands
<03027>
wrought
<06213> (8802)
in the work
<04399>_,
and with the other
<0259>
[hand] held
<02388> (8688)
a weapon
<07973>_.
For the builders
<01129> (8802)_,
every one
<0376>
had his sword
<02719>
girded
<0631> (8803)
by his side
<04975>_,
and [so] builded
<01129> (8802)_.
And he that sounded
<08628> (8802)
the trumpet
<07782>
[was] by me
<0681>_.
{by his side: Heb. on his loins}
And I said
<0559> (8799)
unto the nobles
<02715>_,
and to the rulers
<05461>_,
and to the rest
<03499>
of the people
<05971>_,
The work
<04399>
[is] great
<07235> (8687)
and large
<07342>_,
and we are separated
<06504> (8737)
upon the wall
<02346>_,
one
<0376>
far from
<07350>
another
<0251>_.
In what place
<04725>
[therefore] ye hear
<08085> (8799)
the sound
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_,
resort
<06908> (8735)
ye thither unto us: our God
<0430>
shall fight
<03898> (8735)
for us.
So we laboured
<06213> (8802)
in the work
<04399>_:
and half
<02677>
of them held
<02388> (8688)
the spears
<07420>
from the rising
<05927> (8800)
of the morning
<07837>
till the stars
<03556>
appeared
<03318> (8800)_.
