Nehemiah 7:1-3

Nehemiah 7:1-3

[1] Now it came to pass, when the wall  was built,  and I had set up  the doors,  and the porters  and the singers  and the Levites  were appointed,  [2] That I gave my brother  Hanani,  and Hananiah  the ruler  of the palace,  charge  over Jerusalem:  for he was a faithful  man,  and feared  God  above many.  [3] And I said  unto them, Let not the gates  of Jerusalem  be opened  until the sun  be hot;  and while they stand by,  let them shut  the doors,  and bar  them: and appoint  watches  of the inhabitants  of Jerusalem,  every one  in his watch,  and every one  to be over against his house.
