In context
18 And the builders are each with his sword, girded on his loins, and building, and he who is blowing with a trumpet is beside me.
19 And I say unto the freemen, and unto the prefects, and unto the rest of the people, `The work is abundant, and large, and we are separated on the wall, far off one from another;
20 in the place that ye hear the voice of the trumpet thither ye are gathered unto us; our God doth fight for us.'
21 And we are working in the business, and half of them are keeping hold of the spears, from the going up of the dawn till the coming forth of the stars.
22 Also, at that time I said to the people, `Let each with his servant lodge in the midst of Jerusalem, and they have been to us by night a guard, and by day for the work:'
23 and there are none--I and my brethren and my servants, the men of the guard who are after me--there are none of us putting off our garments, each hath his vessel of water.
