Nehemiah 2:13 in Context — Nehemiah 2
11 J’arrivai à Jérusalem, et j’y passai trois jours.
12 Après quoi, je me levai pendant la nuit avec quelques hommes, sans avoir dit à personne ce que mon Dieu m’avait mis au cœur de faire pour Jérusalem. Il n’y avait avec moi d’autre bête de somme que ma propre monture.
13 Je sortis de nuit par la porte de la vallée, et je me dirigeai contre la source du dragon et vers la porte du fumier, considérant les murailles en ruines de Jérusalem et réfléchissant à ses portes consumées par le feu.
14 Je passai près de la porte de la source et de l’étang du roi, et il n’y avait point de place par où pût passer la bête qui était sous moi.
15 Je montai de nuit par le torrent, et je considérai encore la muraille. Puis je rentrai par la porte de la vallée, et je fus ainsi de retour.
