Nehemiah 13:19-22

19And it cameH935 to passH935 that, when the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 beganH1961 to be darkH6751 beforeH6440 the sabbathH7676, I commandedH559 that the doorsH1817 should be shutH5462, and commandedH559 that they should notH3808 be openedH6605 tillH5704 afterH310 the sabbathH7676: and someH3117 of my servantsH5288 setH5975 I over the gatesH8179, that there should noH3808 burdenH4853 be broughtH935 in on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117.

20So the merchantsH7402 and sellers of allH3605 kind of ware lodged without JerusalemH3389 onceH6471 or twiceH6471.

21Then I testifiedH5749 againstH413 them, and saidH559 unto them, WhyH4069 lodge ye aboutH413 the wallH2346? ifH518 ye doH518 soH4480 againH7971, I will layH7971 handsH3027 on youH859. From that time forthH7971 cameH935 they noH3808 moreH4480 on the sabbathH7676.

22And I commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 that they should purifyH2891 themselvesH6942, and that they should comeH935 and keepH8104 the gatesH8179, to sanctifyH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. RememberH2142 unto meH5921, O my GodH430, this also, and spareH2347 meH5921 accordingH5921 to the greatnessH7230 of thy mercy.
