Neemia 4:22 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 4:22

Likewise at the same time said I unto the people
That were at work upon the wall:

let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem;
every builder had a servant, or a lad, as the word signifies, to wait upon him, to bring mortar or stone, or what he wanted; and some of these builders, with their lads, came out of the country towns and villages in the morning, and returned at night; now Nehemiah proposed, for the safety of the city and its walls, that for the present they would lodge in Jerusalem:

that in the night they may be a guard unto us, and labour on the day;
might help to protect them in the night, should they be surprised with the enemy, and be ready for their work in the daytime.

Neemia 4:22 In-Context

20 Dovunque voi udirete il suon della tromba, adunatevi là presso di noi; l’Iddio nostro combatterà per noi.
21 Così noi lavoravamo all’opera; e la metà della gente avea le lance in mano, dallo spuntar dell’alba fino all’apparir delle stelle.
22 In quel tempo ancora io dissi al popolo: Ciascuno dimori la notte dentro a Gerusalemme, col suo servitore; e di notte servanci per la guardia, e di giorno per l’opera.
23 Ed io, ed i miei fratelli, ed i miei servitori, e le guardie che mi seguitavano, non ispogliavamo i nostri vestimenti; ciascuno andava per dell’acqua con le sue armi.
