NEH 7:3

3 I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until late each morning. And close the gates and put the bars across the doors [◄late in each afternoon/before sunset►] while the gatekeepers are still guarding the gates.” I also told them to appoint some people who lived in Jerusalem to be guards [on the wall], and to assign some of them to be guards at certain other places and to assign others to guard the area close to their own houses.
