Nehemiah 4:20-22

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁰ When you hear the sound of the trumpet, come to join us here. Our God will fight on our behalf.’

²¹ We continued to work on the wall every day, from dawn until it became dark. Half of the men held spears to be our guards. ²² I said to the people, ‘Everybody must stay in Jerusalem each night, together with those who are helping them. Then they can be our guards to keep us safe at night. During each day they can do the work.’
