Nehemiah 4:19

19 et dixi ad optimates et ad magistratus et ad reliquam partem vulgi opus grande est et latum et nos separati sumus in muro procul alter ab altero

Nehemiah 4:19 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 4:19

And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest
of the people (See Gill on Nehemiah 4:14),

the work is great and large;
the building of the wall all around the city of Jerusalem:

and we are separated upon the wall one far from another;
some at work on one part of it, and some at another, so that the distance between one another, at least in the further part, was very considerable.

Nehemiah 4:19 In-Context

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

18 aedificantium enim unusquisque gladio erat accinctus renes et aedificabant et clangebant bucina iuxta me

19 et dixi ad optimates et ad magistratus et ad reliquam partem vulgi opus grande est et latum et nos separati sumus in muro procul alter ab altero

20 in loco quocumque audieritis clangorem tubae illuc concurrite ad nos Deus noster pugnabit pro nobis

21 et nos ipsi faciamus opus et media pars nostrum teneat lanceas ab ascensu aurorae donec egrediantur astra
