Nehemiah 4:21 in Context — Nehemiah 4
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.
21 Assim trabalhávamos na obra; e a metade deles tinham lanças desde a subida do amanhecer até o surgir das estrelas.
22 Também naquele tempo eu disse ao povo: Cada um passe a noite com seu servo dentro de Jerusalém, para que de noite nos sirvam de guarda, e de dia na obra.
23 E nem eu, nem meus irmãos, nem meus servos, nem os homens da guarda que me seguiam, nos despíamos de nossas roupas; cada um [mantinha] sua arma [até para] a água.
