Nehemiah 7:1-3

World English Bible

7 Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed, ² I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many. ³ I said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them; and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house.”
