Nechemyah 4:20-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

20. [4:14] In what place therefore ye hear the kol haShofar, rally ye thither unto us; Eloheinu shall fight for us.

21. [4:15] So we labored in the melachah, and half of them held the spears from the break of dawn till the kokhavim appeared.

22. [4:16] Likewise at the same time said I unto HaAm, Let every one with his servant lodge within Yerushalayim, that in halailah they may be a mishmar (guard) to us, and at hayom a melachah (workman).

23. [4:17] So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my men, nor the anshei hamishmar (the men of the guard) which followed me, none of us put off our clothes; every one carried his weapon, even when he went for water.
