Nehemiah 4:10-12

Tree of Life Version

¹⁰ From that day on, half of my men were doing the work, while half of them took hold of the spears, shields, bows and breastplates, and the leaders were behind the entire house of Judah. ¹¹ Those building the wall and those bearing heavy burdens kept one hand on the work and the other holding a weapon. ¹² So each of the builders had his sword strapped to his side while they were building, and the shofar blower was beside me.
