Nehemiah 13:19-22

19And it cameH935 to pass that, when the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 began to beH1961 dark before the sabbathH7676, I commanded that the doorsH1817 should beH1961 shutH5462, and commanded that they should not beH1961 openedH6605 till after the sabbathH7676: and some of my servantsH5288 setH5975 I over the gatesH8179, that there should no burdenH4853 beH1961 broughtH935 in on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. 20So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged without JerusalemH3389 once or twice. 21Then I testifiedH5749 against them, and saidH559 unto them, WhyH4069 lodge ye about the wallH2346? if ye do so again, I will lay handsH3027 on you. From that timeH6256 forthH7971 cameH935 they no moreH4480 on the sabbathH7676. 22And I commanded the LevitesH3881 that they should purifyH2891 themselves, and that they should comeH935 and keepH8104 the gatesH8179, to sanctifyH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. RememberH2142 unto me, O my GodH430, this alsoH1571, and spare me according to the greatnessH7230 of thy lovingkindness.
