Nehemiah 7:2 in Context — Nehemiah 7
1 Lorsque la muraille fut rebâtie et que j’eus posé les battants des portes, on établit dans leurs fonctions les portiers, les chantres et les Lévites.
2 Je donnai mes ordres à Hanani, mon frère, et à Hanania, chef de la citadelle de Jérusalem, homme supérieur au grand nombre par sa fidélité et par sa crainte de Dieu.
3 Je leur dis: Les portes de Jérusalem ne s’ouvriront pas avant que la chaleur du soleil soit venue, et l’on fermera les battants aux verrous en votre présence; les habitants de Jérusalem feront la garde, chacun à son poste devant sa maison.
4 La ville était spacieuse et grande, mais peu peuplée, et les maisons n’étaient pas bâties.
