Nehemiah 4:18 in Context — Nehemiah 4
16 Sucedeu, porém, que desde aquele dia a metade dos meus servos trabalhava na obra, e outra metade deles tinha lanças, escudos, arcos, e couraças; e os líderes estavam por detrás de toda a casa de Judá.
17 Os que edificavam o muro, e os que traziam as cargas [e] os que carregavam, com uma mão faziam a obra, e na outra tinham armas.
18 E cada um dos construtores trazia sua espada cingida a seus lombos, e [assim] edificavam; e o que tocava a trombeta estava junto a mim.
19 E eu disse aos nobres, aos oficiais, e aos demais do povo: A obra é grande e extensa, e nós estamos separados no muro, longe uns dos outros.
20 No lugar onde ouvirdes o som da trombeta, ali vos ajuntareis conosco; nosso Deus lutará por nós.
