Nehemiah 7

Surların onarımı bitip kapılar yerine takıldıktan sonra, kapı nöbetçileri, ezgiciler ve Levililer göreve atandı.

Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

Kardeşim Hanani’yle kale komutanı Hananya’yı Yeruşalim’e yönetici atadım. Hananya güvenilir bir kişiydi. Çoğu insandan daha çok Tanrı’dan korkardı.

That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.

Onlara, “Güneş ortalığı ısıtıncaya kadar Yeruşalim kapıları açılmasın” dedim, “Kapı nöbetçileri görev başındayken kapıları kapalı tutsunlar. Kapıları siz sürgüleyin ve Yeruşalim’de oturanlara nöbet görevi verin. Bazıları bu görevi yapsın, bazıları da evlerinin çevresinde nöbet tutsun.”

And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.
