Nehemías 4

Così continuavamo i lavori, mentre la metà della mia gente teneva impugnata la lancia, dallo spuntar dell’alba all’apparir delle stelle.

Nosotros pues trabajábamos en la obra; y la mitad de ellos tenían lanzas desde la subida del alba hasta salir las estrellas.

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

So we did the work. Half of the people held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.
