Nehemiah 4:15 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 4:15

And it came to pass, when our enemies heard it was known unto
us
What they intended, as might be reported to them from the preparations made by the Jews to receive them, and defend themselves:

and God had brought their counsel to naught;
which was to come upon them secretly and unawares; but being discovered, they dropped their design, and their scheme came to nothing:

so that we returned all of us to the wall, every man to his work;
to that part of it where he wrought, in order to finish it.

Nehemiah 4:15 In-Context

13 statui in loco post murum per circuitum populum in ordine cum gladiis suis et lanceis et arcis

14 perspexi atque surrexi et aio ad optimates et ad magistratus et ad reliquam partem vulgi nolite timere a facie eorum Domini magni et terribilis mementote et pugnate pro fratribus vestris filiis vestris et filiabus vestris uxoribus vestris et domibus

15 factum est autem cum audissent inimici nostri nuntiatum esse nobis dissipavit Deus consilium eorum et reversi sumus omnes ad muros unusquisque ad opus suum

16 et factum est a die illa media pars iuvenum eorum faciebant opus et media parata erat ad bellum et lanceae et scuta et arcus et loricae et principes post eos in omni domo Iuda

17 aedificantium in muro et portantium onera et inponentium una manu sua faciebat opus et altera tenebat gladium
