Nehemiah 4:22 Context
20In what place therefore ye heare the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither vnto vs: our God shal fight for vs. 21So wee laboured in the worke: and halfe of them held the speares, from the rising of the morning, til the starres appeared. 22Likewise at the same time said I vnto the people, Let euery one, with his seruant, lodge within Ierusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to vs, and labour on the day. 23So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my seruants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of vs put off our clothes, sauing that euery one put them off for washing.
