Nehemiah 2:17-3:1 Then I said to them, You see this evil, in which we are, how Jerusalem is desolate, and her gates have been set on fire. Come, and let us build throughout the wall of Jerusalem, and we shall no longer be a reproach.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Then I said to them, You see this evil, in which we are, how Jerusalem is desolate, and her gates have been set on fire. Come, and let us build throughout the wall of Jerusalem, and we shall no longer be a reproach. ¹⁸ And I told them of the hand of God which was good upon me, also about the words of the king which he spoke to me. And I said, Let us arise and build. And their hands were strengthened for the good work. ¹⁹ And Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Gesham the Arabian, heard it, and they laughed us to scorn, and came to us, and said, What is this thing that you are doing? Are you revolting against the king? ²⁰ And I answered them, and said to them, The God of heaven, He shall prosper us, and we His servants are pure, and we will build; but you have no part, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem. ³ ¹ Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests, and built the Sheep Gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even to the Tower of the Hundred they sanctified it, to the Tower of Hananel.
