Nehemiah 13:16-19

16Also peopleH6876 ofH6876 TyreH6876 were livingH3427 1there who importedH935 fishH1710 and allH3605 kinds of merchandiseH4377, and soldH4376 them to the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 on the SabbathH7676, even in JerusalemH3389. 17Then 2I 3reprimandedH7378 the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063 and saidH559 to them, “WhatH4100 is thisH2088 evilH7451 thingH1697 that you are doingH6213, 4by profaningH2490 the SabbathH7676 dayH3117? 185Did your fathersH1 not doH6213 the sameH3541, so that our GodH430 broughtH935 on us and on thisH2088 cityH5892 allH3605 thisH2088 troubleH7463? Yet you are addingH3254 to the wrathH2740 againstH5921 IsraelH3478 by profaningH2490 the SabbathH7676.”

19And 6it cameH1961 aboutH1961 that justH3512 asH3512 it becameH6751 darkH6751 at the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 beforeH6440 the SabbathH7676, I orderedH559 that the doorsH1817 be shutH5462, 7and that they were not to openH6605 them untilH5704 afterH310 the SabbathH7676. Then I stationedH5975 some of my servantsH5288 at the gatesH8179 so that noH3808 loadH4853 would enterH935 on the SabbathH7676 dayH3117.
