Nehemiah 3:1–11

¹And Eliashib the high priest riseth, and his brethren the priests, and they build the sheep-gate; they have sanctified it, and set up its doors, even unto the tower of Meah they have sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel; ²and by his hand have men of Jericho built; and by their hand hath Zaccur son of Imri built; ³and the fish-gate have sons of Hassenaah built, they have walled it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars. ⁴And by their hand hath Merimoth son of Urijah, son of Koz, strengthened; and by his hand hath Meshullam son of Berechiah, son of Meshezabeel, strengthened; and by his hand hath Zadok son of Baana strengthened; ⁵and by his hand have the Tekoites strengthened, and their honourable ones have not brought in their neck to the service of their Lord. ⁶And the old gate have Jehoiada son of Paseah, and Meshullam son of Besodeiah, strengthened; they have walled it, and set up its doors, and its locks, and its bars. ⁷And by their hand hath Melatiah the Gibeonite strengthened, and Jadon the Meronothite, men of Gibeon and of Mizpah, to the throne of the governor beyond the River. ⁸By his hand hath Uzziel son of Harhaiah of the refiners strengthened; and by his hand hath Hananiah son of one of the compounders strengthened; and they leave Jerusalem unto the broad wall. ⁹And by their hand hath Rephaiah son of Hur, head of the half of the district of Jerusalem, strengthened. ¹⁰And by their hand hath Jedaiah son of Harumaph strengthened, and over-against his own house; and by his hand hath Hattush son of Hashabniah strengthened. ¹¹A second measure hath Malchijah son of Harim strengthened, and Hashub son of Pahath-Moab, even the tower of the furnaces.
