Nehemiah 4:17 in Context — Nehemiah 4
15 Lorsque nos ennemis apprirent que nous étions avertis, Dieu anéantit leur projet, et nous retournâmes tous à la muraille, chacun à son ouvrage.
16 Depuis ce jour, la moitié de mes serviteurs travaillaient, et l’autre moitié était armée de lances, de boucliers, d’arcs et de cuirasses. Les chefs étaient derrière toute la maison de Juda.
17 Ceux qui bâtissaient la muraille, et ceux qui portaient ou chargeaient les fardeaux, travaillaient d’une main et tenaient une arme de l’autre;
18 chacun d’eux, en travaillant, avait son épée ceinte autour des reins. Celui qui sonnait de la trompette se tenait près de moi.
19 Je dis aux grands, aux magistrats, et au reste du peuple: L’ouvrage est considérable et étendu, et nous sommes dispersés sur la muraille, éloignés les uns des autres.
