Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ ^(4:15) So we labored at the work, while the half of them were holding the spears from the rising of the morning-dawn till the stars appeared. ²² ^(4:16) Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his young man lodge within Jerusalem, so that they may be in the night a guard to us, and during the day for the labor. ²³ ^(4:17) And neither I, nor my brothers, nor my young men, nor the men of the guard who followed me—none of us took off our clothes, no one leaving them off even for washing himself.
