Context Readings

Nehemiah Inspects Jerusalem's Walls

12 Then rose I by night, I, and a few men with me, I having told no man, what, my God, had been putting in my heart, to do for Jerusalem, - and, beast, was there none with me, save the beast on which, I myself, was riding. 13 So I went forth through the valley-gate by night, even unto the front of the snake-fountain, and into the dung-gate, - and I viewed the walls of Jerusalem, how, they, were broken down, and, the gates thereof, consumed with fire. 14 Then passed I over unto the fountain-gate, and unto the pool of the king, - but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
