Builders of the Wall

3 Eliashib^(A) the high priest and his fellow priests went to work and rebuilt^(B) the Sheep Gate.^(C) They dedicated it and set its doors in place, building as far as the Tower of the Hundred, which they dedicated, and as far as the Tower of Hananel.^(D)

³⁹ over the Gate of Ephraim,^(A) the Jeshanah^[a] Gate,^(B) the Fish Gate,^(C) the Tower of Hananel^(D) and the Tower of the Hundred,^(E) as far as the Sheep Gate.^(F) At the Gate of the Guard they stopped.

³⁸ “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this city will be rebuilt^(A) for me from the Tower of Hananel^(B) to the Corner Gate.^{(C) 39} The measuring line^(D) will stretch from there straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn to Goah. ⁴⁰ The whole valley^(E) where dead bodies^(F) and ashes are thrown, and all the terraces out to the Kidron Valley^(G) on the east as far as the corner of the Horse Gate,^(H) will be holy^(I) to the Lord. The city will never again be uprooted or demolished.”
