So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my young men, nor the men of the watch that followed me, none of us, put off our clothes,—every one went with his weapon to the water.
They who were building at the wall and they who were carrying burdens, they who were lifting, each man , with his one hand, was working at the work, and, with the other, was grasping the weapon.
And be caused all the people to stand, even every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right corner of the house as far as the left corner of the house, by the altar and the house,—near the king round about.
None shall be weary, and none shall stumble in his midst, He shall neither slumber nor sleep,—Nor shall be loosened, the girdle of his loins, Nor snapped, the thong of his sandals:
Like heroes, shall they run, like men of war, shall they mount a wall,—and, every one—along his own road, shall they march along, and shall not change their paths;
