And the other company of them that gave thanks went
 over against them
 On the left hand, on the northern part of the wall: 
 and I after them;
 Nehemiah, he brought up the rear of his company, as Ezra led the van of his: 
 and the half of the people upon the wall;
 the chief of them, for all could not walk upon it: 
 from beyond the tower of the furnaces;
 where they baked their bread, or their bricks, see ( Nehemiah 3:11 ) , 
 even unto the broad wall;
 where the wall was broader than common, for some reason or another, see ( Nehemiah 3:8 ) .
