Nehemiah 7:2 Context
1Now it came to passe when the wall was built, and I had set vp the doores; and the porters, and the singers, and the Leuites were appointed, 2That I gaue my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge ouer Ierusalem (for hee was a faithfull man, and feared God aboue many.) 3And I said vnto them, Let not the gates of Ierusalem be opened, vntill the Sunne bee hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doores, and barre them. And appoint watches of the inhabitants of Ierusalem, euery one in his wateh, and euery one to bee ouer against his house. 4Now the city was large and great, but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
