“And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.”
Nehemiah establishes a communication system to coordinate rapid response: "And I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, 'The work is great and widely spread; we are separated far from one another on the wall.'" The acknowledgment of the dispersed work distribution creates the necessity for coordinated communication; defenders spread across a long wall cannot see each other, necessitating a means to rapidly transmit alarm signals.
