Nehemías 7:3

Listen to Nehemías 7:3
3 Les dije: «No dejen abiertas las puertas durante las horas más calurosas del día;
y aun mientras los porteros estén de guardia, mantengan las puertas cerradas con las barras puestas. Asignen a los residentes de Jerusalén para que hagan guardia cada uno con un turno regular. Algunos servirán en puestos de centinela y otros frente a su propia 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 Cuando quedó terminada la muralla e instalé las puertas en sus sitios, se nombraron porteros, cantores y levitas.
2 A mi hermano Hananí le entregué la responsabilidad de gobernar Jerusalén junto con Hananías, el comandante de la fortaleza, porque era un hombre fiel que temía a Dios más que la mayoría.
3 Les dije: «No dejen abiertas las puertas durante las horas más calurosas del día;
y aun mientras los porteros estén de guardia, mantengan las puertas cerradas con las barras puestas. Asignen a los residentes de Jerusalén para que hagan guardia cada uno con un turno regular. Algunos servirán en puestos de centinela y otros frente a su propia casa».
4 Nehemías registra al pueblo
En ese tiempo, la ciudad era grande y espaciosa, pero poco poblada y ninguna de las casas se había reconstruido.
5 Entonces mi Dios me dio la idea de reunir a todos los nobles y dirigentes de la ciudad, junto con los ciudadanos comunes, para que se registraran. Yo había encontrado el registro genealógico de los primeros que habían regresado a Judá. Allí estaba escrito lo siguiente:
