Neemia 7
1 Or quando le mura furon riedificate ed io ebbi messo a posto le porte, e i portinai, i cantori e i Leviti furono stabiliti nei loro uffici,
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 io detti il comando di Gerusalemme ad Hanani, mio fratello, e ad Hanania governatore del castello, perch’era un uomo fedele e timorato di Dio più di tanti altri.

3 E dissi loro: “Le porte di Gerusalemme non s’aprano finché il sole scotti; e mentre le guardie saranno ancora al loro posto, si chiudano e si sbarrino le porte; e si stabiliscano per far la guardia, gli abitanti di Gerusalemme, ciascuno al suo turno e ciascuno davanti alla propria casa”.
And I said to them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun shall be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint soldiers of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be opposite his house.
4 Or la città era spaziosa e grande; ma dentro v’era poca gente, e non vi s’eran fabbricate case.

And my God put into my heart to gather the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a family record of the genealogy of them who came up at the first, and found written in it,
