And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 2 of Nehemiah. After staying three days in Jerusalem, Nehemiah goes out at night with a few men and examines the ruined walls. He has not yet revealed his plan to the authorities or the people. Silence protects the initial phase of the project and allows diagnosis to precede public mobilization.

Salí de noche por la puerta del Valle, hacia la fuente del Dragón y la puerta del Estiércol. Examiné las murallas de Jerusalén, que estaban derribadas, y sus puertas, que habían sido consumidas por el fuego.
Je sortis de nuit par la porte de la vallée, et je me dirigeai contre la source du dragon et vers la porte du fumier, considérant les murailles en ruines de Jérusalem et réfléchissant à ses portes consumées par le feu.
Io adunque uscii di notte dalla porta della valle, e passai dirincontro alla fontana del dragone, ed alla porta del letame; ed andava considerando le mura di Gerusalemme, come erano rotte, e come le porte di essa erano consumate dal fuoco.
E de noite saí pela porta do vale, e para o lado da fonte do dragão, e para a porta do monturo, e contemplei os muros de Jerusalém, que estavam fendidos, e as suas portas, que tinham sido consumidas pelo fogo.
當夜,我出了 谷門 ,往 野狗泉 去,到了 糞廠門 ,察看 耶路撒冷 的城牆,城牆被拆毀,城門被火焚燒。
