And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.
Salí de noche por la Puerta del Valle, pasé junto al Pozo del Chacal, y llegué a la Puerta del Muladar. Examiné las murallas de Jerusalén, que estaban derribadas, y vi que sus puertas habían sido destruidas por el fuego.
Nehemías inspeccionó de noche las murallas destruidas y las puertas quemadas de Jerusalén para evaluar el daño.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurred around 445 BC when Nehemiah had just arrived in Jerusalem from the Persian court where he served as cupbearer to King Artaxerxes. The walls and gates had been destroyed about 140 years earlier when the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem in 586 BC. Nehemiah conducted this nighttime survey secretly before announcing his rebuilding plans to avoid potential opposition from local enemies.
