The sun’s first rays cast their reddish tonalities through the gray, metallic structures of Rome’s Ostiense train station.

Curious Inconsistency
Earlier in the story we read where, "the people had a mind to work," (Neh. 4: 6) but now that the work is complete there is scarcely anyone to live in Jerusalem. Somehow this story line seems to follow the course of this passage, "And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach."
