Nehemiah 4:22 in Context — Nehemiah 4
20 Au son de la trompette, rassemblez-vous auprès de nous, vers le lieu d’où vous l’entendrez; notre Dieu combattra pour nous.
21 C’est ainsi que nous poursuivions l’ouvrage, la moitié d’entre nous la lance à la main depuis le lever de l’aurore jusqu’à l’apparition des étoiles.
22 Dans ce même temps, je dis encore au peuple: Que chacun passe la nuit dans Jérusalem avec son serviteur; faisons la garde pendant la nuit, et travaillons pendant le jour.
23 Et nous ne quittions point nos vêtements, ni moi, ni mes frères, ni mes serviteurs, ni les hommes de garde qui me suivaient; chacun n’avait que ses armes et de l’eau.
