Nehemiah establishes a common signal to mobilize everyone and maintains vigilance even at night.

También dije entonces al pueblo: Cada uno con su criado se quede dentro de Jerusalem, y hágannos de noche centinela, y de día a la obra.
En aquel tiempo también dije al pueblo: «Cada uno con su siervo pase la noche dentro de Jerusalén, para que nos sirvan de guardia por la noche y trabajen de día».
Dans ce même temps, je dis encore au peuple: Que chacun passe la nuit dans Jérusalem avec son serviteur; faisons la garde pendant la nuit, et travaillons pendant le jour.
In quel tempo ancora io dissi al popolo: Ciascuno dimori la notte dentro a Gerusalemme, col suo servitore; e di notte servanci per la guardia, e di giorno per l’opera.
Também naquele tempo disse ao povo: Cada um com o seu servo fique em Jerusalém, para que à noite nos sirvam de guarda, e de dia na obra.
那時,我又對百姓說:「各人和他的僕人當在 耶路撒冷 過夜,好為我們夜間守衛,白晝做工。」
