Nehemiah 6:15-Nehemiah 7:4 - The Wall Is Completed

15 And the wall will be completed in the twenty and fifth to Elul, to fifty and two days. 16 And it will be as all our enemies heard, and all the nations that were round about us saw, and they will fall greatly in their own eyes: and they knew that from God was done this work.

17 Also in these days the nobles of Judah were multiplying their letters going to Tobiah, and those to Tobiah came to them. 18 For many in Judah being married by oath to him for he was son-in-law to Shechaniah son of Arah; and Johanan his son took the daughter of Meshullam, son of Berechiah. 19 Also his good things were said before me, and my words were brought forth to him. Tobiah sent letters to cause me to fear.

1 And it will be as the wall was built, and I shall set up the doors, and the gate-keepers, and those singing, and the Levites will be appointed. 2 And I shall command Hanani my brother, and Hananiah chief of the fortress, over Jerusalem, for he is as a man of truth, and fearing God above many. 3 And it will be said to them, The gates of Jerusalem shall not be opened till the sun being hot; and till they standing by shall shut the doors and fasten: and setting up watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, a man in his watch, and a man before his house.

4 And the city broad of hands, and great and the people few in its midst, and the houses not built.
