NASB
"So we carried on the work with half of them holding spears from dawn until the stars appeared."
— Nehemiah 4:21, NASB
“So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.”
“So we wrought in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared. ”
“So we worked in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.”
“So we worked on, with half holding spears, from dawn till dusk.”
“And let us do the work: and let one half of us hold our spears from the rising of the morning, till the stars appear.”
“So we went on with the work: and half of them had spears in their hands from the dawn of the morning till the stars were seen.”
“So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.”
As for the builders, each wore his sword girded at his side as he built, while the trumpeter stood near me.
I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "The work is great and extensive, and we are separated on the wall far from one another.
"At whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us."
So we carried on the work with half of them holding spears from dawn until the stars appeared.
At that time I also said to the people, "Let each man with his servant spend the night within Jerusalem so that they may be a guard for us by night and a laborer by day."
So neither I, my brothers, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us removed our clothes, each took his weapon even to the water.
