1 When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed. 2 Then I put my brother Hanani (gracious) in charge of Jerusalem (city of peace), along with Hananiah (God has favored) the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God {Elohim} more than most. 3 And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem (city of peace) until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.” Nehemiah 7:1-3, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
