So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.

Verse 23 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.

Y ni yo, ni mis hermanos, ni mis mozos, ni la gente de guardia que me seguía, desnudamos nuestro vestido: cada uno se desnudaba solamente para lavarse.
Ni yo ni mis hermanos ni mis siervos ni los hombres de la guardia que me seguían nos quitábamos la ropa; cada uno llevaba su arma al ir por agua.
Et nous ne quittions point nos vêtements, ni moi, ni mes frères, ni mes serviteurs, ni les hommes de garde qui me suivaient; chacun n'avait que ses armes et de l'eau.
Ed io, ed i miei fratelli, ed i miei servitori, e le guardie che mi seguitavano, non ispogliavamo i nostri vestimenti; ciascuno andava per dell’acqua con le sue armi
E nem eu, nem meus irmãos, nem meus servos, nem os homens da guarda que me seguiam largávamos as nossas vestes; cada um tinha suas armas e água.
這樣,我和弟兄僕人,以及跟從我的衛兵都不脫衣服,各人打水時 也拿著自己的兵器。
