New Century Version

Nehemiah 2:11-15 New Century Version (NCV)

11. I went to Jerusalem and stayed there three days.

12. Then at night I started out with a few men. I had not told anyone what God had caused me to do for Jerusalem. There were no animals with me except the one I was riding.

13. I went out at night through the Valley Gate. I rode toward the Dragon Well and the Trash Gate, inspecting the walls of Jerusalem that had been broken down and the gates that had been destroyed by fire.

14. Then I rode on toward the Fountain Gate and the King’s Pool, but there was not enough room for the animal I was riding to pass through.

15. So I went up the valley at night, inspecting the wall. Finally, I turned and went back in through the Valley Gate.
