1 Now when the wall was builded, I hanged on the doores also, and the porters, singers, and Leuites, were appoynted: 2 And I commaunded my brother Hanani, and Hanania the ruler of the castle at Hierusalem, (for he was a faithfull man, and feared God more then did many other) 3 And saide vnto them: Let not the gates of Hierusalem be opened vntil the sunne be whot: and while they stand by, let them shut the doores & barre them. And we appoynted certaine citezins of Hierusalem to be watchmen, euery one to keepe his watch, and euery one to be ouer against his house. Nehemiah 7:1-3, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
