1 At the Sheep Gate, Eliashib (God restores) the high priest and his fellow priests began rebuilding. They dedicated it and installed its doors. After building as far as the Tower of the Hundred (hundred) and the Tower of Hananel (God has favored), they dedicated the wall. 2 The men of Jericho (city of palms) built next to Eliashib, and Zaccur (mindful) son of Imri (eloquent) built next to them. 3 The Fish Gate was rebuilt by the sons of Hassenaah (thorny). They laid its beams and installed its doors, bolts, and bars. 4 Next to them, Meremoth (elevations) son of Uriah (YHWH is my light), the son of Hakkoz (thorn), made repairs. Next to him, Meshullam (friend) son of Berechiah (YHWH blesses), the son of Meshezabel (God delivers), made repairs; and next to him, Zadok (righteous) son of Baana (in the affliction) made repairs as well. 5 Next to him, the Tekoites made repairs, but their nobles did not put their shoulders to the work under their supervisors (their Lord).
