19 [4:13] And I said unto the Nobles, and to the Officials, and to the rest of haAm, The melachah is great and spread out, and we are separated along the Chomah, one far from another.
20 [4:14] In what place therefore ye hear the kol haShofar, rally ye thither unto us; Eloheinu shall fight for us.
21 [4:15] So we labored in the melachah, and half of them held the spears from the break of dawn till the kokhavim appeared.
22 [4:16] Likewise at the same time said I unto HaAm, Let every one with his servant lodge within Yerushalayim, that in halailah they may be a mishmar (guard) to us, and at hayom a melachah (workman).
23 [4:17] So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my men, nor the anshei hamishmar (the men of the guard) which followed me, none of us put off our clothes; every one carried his weapon, even when he went for water.
