Nehemiah 7:1-4

7:1

Now it came to pass, when the wall
<02346>

was built
<01129> (8738)_,

and I had set up
<05975> (8686)

the doors
<01817>_,

and the porters
<07778>

and the singers
<07891> (8789)

and the Levites
<03881>

were appointed
<06485> (8735)_,

7:2

That I gave my brother
<0251>

Hanani
<02607>_,

and Hananiah
<02608>

the ruler
<08269>

of the palace
<01002>_,

charge
<06680> (8762)

over Jerusalem
<03389>_:

for he [was] a faithful
<0571>

man
<0376>_,

and feared
<03372> (8804)

God
<0430>

above many
<07227>_.

7:3

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Let not the gates
<08179>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

be opened
<06605> (8735)

until the sun
<08121>

be hot
<02527>_;

and while they stand by
<05975> (8802)_,

let them shut
<01479> (8686)

the doors
<01817>_,

and bar
<0270> (8798)

[them]: and appoint
<05975> (8687)

watches
<04931>

of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

every one
<0376>

in his watch
<04929>_,

and every one
<0376>

[to be] over against his house
<01004>_.

7:4

Now the city
<05892>

[was] large
<07342> <03027>

and great
<01419>_:

but the people
<05971>

[were] few
<04592>

therein
<08432>_,

and the houses
<01004>

[were] not builded
<01129> (8803)_.
