Nehemiah 13:16-19

16Additionally, men of TyreH6876 who livedH3427 there were importingH935 fishH1709 and all kindsH3605 of merchandiseH4377 and selling themH4376 on the SabbathH7676 to the peopleH1121 of JudahH3063 in JerusalemH3389.

17Then I rebukedH7378H854 the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063 and askedH559, “WhatH4100H1697 is thisH2088 evilH7451 youH859 are doingH6213—profaningH2490 the SabbathH7676 dayH3117? 18Did notH3808 your forefathersH1 doH6213 the same thingsH3541, so that our GodH430 broughtH935 allH3605 thisH2063 disasterH7451 on usH5921 and onH5921 thisH2063 cityH5892? And nowH859 you are rekindlingH3254 His wrathH2740 againstH5921 IsraelH3478 by profaningH2490 the SabbathH7676!”

WhenH834 the evening shadowsH6751 began to fall on the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389, just beforeH6440 the SabbathH7676, I orderedH559 that the gatesH1817H559 be shutH5462 and notH3808 openedH6605 untilH5704 afterH310 the SabbathH7676. I postedH5975 some of my servantsH5288 atH5921 the gatesH8179 so that noH3808 loadH4853 could enterH935 on the SabbathH7676 dayH3117.
