Nehemiah 7:1-4
1599 Geneva Bible
7 1 After the wall once built, is the watch appointed. 6 They that returned from the captivity are numbered.
1 Now when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters, and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
2 Then I commanded my brother Hanani and Hananiah, the prince of the palace in Jerusalem (for he was doubtless a faithful man, and feared God above many)
3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened, until the heat of the sun: and while [a]they stand by, let them shut the doors, and [b]make them fast: and I appointed wards of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his ward, and everyone over against his house.
4 Now the city was large and great, but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
