So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 4 of Nehemiah. From then on, some work while others remain armed, and the builders carry both tools and weapons. Nehemiah establishes a common signal to mobilize everyone and maintains vigilance even at night. The wall is completed through collective discipline, perseverance, and organization that responds to the threat without paralyzing the work.

Nosotros pues trabajábamos en la obra; y la mitad de ellos tenían lanzas desde la subida del alba hasta salir las estrellas.
Trabajábamos en la obra, y la mitad de ellos sostenía las lanzas desde que despuntaba el alba hasta que salían las estrellas.
C'est ainsi que nous poursuivions l'ouvrage, la moitié d'entre nous la lance à la main depuis le lever de l'aurore jusqu'à l'apparition des étoiles.
Così noi lavoravamo all’opera; e la metà della gente avea le lance in mano, dallo spuntar dell’alba fino all’apparir delle stelle.
Assim trabalhávamos na obra; e metade deles tinha as lanças desde a subida da alva até ao sair das estrelas.
於是,我們做這工程,一半的人拿槍,從天亮直到星宿出現的時候。
