1. Eliashib the high priest and his fellow priests went to work. They rebuilt the Sheep Gate. They gave it to the Lord’s service and set its doors in place. They worked as far as the Tower of the Hundred, and they gave it to the Lord’s service. Then they went on to the Tower of Hananel.

2. The men of Jericho built the part of the wall next to the priests. And Zaccur son of Imri built next to them.
