Nehemiah 4:9-13

4:9

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.

4:10

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>_.

4:11

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)_.

4:12

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}

4:13

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}
