Nehemiah 13:19-22

19And it cameH935 to pass, that when it began to beH1961 dark in the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 before the sabbathH7676, I commanded that the gatesH8179 should beH1961 shutH5462; and I commanded that they should not beH1961 openedH6605 till after the sabbathH7676. And I setH5975 [some] of my servantsH5288 at the gatesH8179, so that no burdenH4853 should beH1961 broughtH935 in on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117.

20And the dealers and sellers of all kind of ware passed the night without JerusalemH3389 once or twice.

21And I testifiedH5749 against them, and saidH559 to them, WhyH4069 do ye pass the night before the wallH2346? if ye do so again, I will lay handsH3027 on you. From that timeH6256 forthH7971 they cameH935 not on the sabbathH7676.

22And I commanded the LevitesH3881 that they should purifyH2891 themselves, and that they should comeH935 and keepH8104 the gatesH8179, to hallow the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. RememberH2142 this alsoH1571 for me, my 1GodH430, and spare me according to thy great loving-kindness!
