Keil & Delitzsch · 1861–1875
Neh 4:9 · Douay-Rheims
“And we prayed to our God, and set watchmen upon the wall day and night against them.”
On this verse:
“The Jews, on the other hand, made preparation by prayer, and by setting a watch (משׁמר, comp. Neh 7:3; Neh 13:30) day and night. We, viz., Nehemiah and the superintendents of the work, prayed and set a watch עליהם, against them, to ward off a probable attack. מפּניהם, for fear of them, comp. Neh 4:10.”
