The speaker inspects the walls of Jerusalem by night
말하는 이가 밤에 예루살렘 성벽을 살펴봄
Nehemiah 2:11–16: the speaker (“I”) comes to Jerusalem and is there three days. The text goes on, “I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I didn’t tell anyone what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There wasn’t any animal with me except the animal that I rode on. I went out by night by the valley gate toward the jackal’s well, then to the dung gate; and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and its gates were consumed with fire. Then I went on to the spring gate and to the king’s pool, but there was no place for the animal that was under me to pass. Then I went up in the night by the brook and inspected the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned. The rulers didn’t know where I went, or what I did. I had not as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest who did the work.” The Korean Revised Version tells first that the speaker told no one what his God had put into his heart to do for Jerusalem (내 하나님이 내 마음을 감화하사 예루살렘을 위하여 행하게 하신 일), and then that he arose in the night; it reads 용정 where WEB reads “the jackal’s well”.
