Nehemiah 4:21-23

Revised Geneva Translation

²¹ So we labored in the work. And half of them held the spears, from the appearance of the morning until the stars came forth.

²² And at the same time, I said to the people, “Let everyone lodge with his servant within Jerusalem, so that they may be a watch for us in the night and labor in the day.”

²³ So, neither I nor my brethren nor my servants nor the men of the ward who followed me (none of us) took off our clothes, except when everyone took them off for washing.
