Nehemías 7:3

Listen to Nehemías 7:3
3 y les dije: No se abrirán las puertas de Jerusalén hasta que caliente el sol; y estando todavía los porteros en sus puestos, se cerrarán y atrancarán las puertas. Designad también guardias de los habitantes de Jerusalén, unos en su puesto de guardia, y otros delante de su casa.

Nehemías 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 7:3

And I said unto them, let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened
until the sun be hot
Or until the heat of the day, or near noon; at least not till the sun had been up some time, and shone out clearly, and caused much heat; that if any enemies were near, or lying in wait, they might be discovered, and the inhabitants also up and ready to defend themselves:

and while they stand by;
according to Aben Ezra, Hanani and Hananiah were to be present at the opening and shutting of the gates, and so Grotius; but these being the chief rulers, it is not likely; but rather those whom they appointed to look after them, these were to stand by while their servants did it; they were not to leave it wholly to them, but to see it done themselves:

let them shut the doors, and bar them;
or "lay hold" F1 on them, handle them to see whether they are shut fast or not:

and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his
watch, and everyone to be over against his house;
no foreigners were to be of the watch, only inhabitants, and those everyone in their turn, and to be placed over against where they dwelt; and so it might be thought would be the more careful and diligent in their watch.

Nehemías 7:3 In-Context

1 AconteciĂł que cuando la muralla fue reedificada y habĂ­a yo asentado las puertas y habĂ­an sido designados los porteros, los cantores y los levitas,
2 puse al frente de Jerusalén a mi hermano Hananí y a Hananías, jefe de la fortaleza, porque éste era hombre fiel y temeroso de Dios más que muchos;
3 y les dije: No se abrirán las puertas de Jerusalén hasta que caliente el sol; y estando todavía los porteros en sus puestos, se cerrarán y atrancarán las puertas. Designad también guardias de los habitantes de Jerusalén, unos en su puesto de guardia, y otros delante de su casa.
4 Y la ciudad era espaciosa y grande, pero el pueblo dentro de ella era poco y no habĂ­a casas reedificadas.
5 Entonces mi Dios puso en mi corazón reunir a los nobles, a los oficiales y al pueblo para que fueran inscritos por genealogías. Y encontré el libro de la genealogía de los que habían subido primero, y hallé escrito en él:
