17 Finally I said to them: “You can see what a terrible situation we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, so that this disgrace will not continue.”

15 So the wall was completed on the 25th day of Eʹlul,* in 52 days.

25 You should know and understand that from the issuing of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem+ until Mes·siʹah*+ the Leader,+ there will be 7 weeks, also 62 weeks.+ She will be restored and rebuilt, with a public square and moat, but in times of distress.
