Nehemiah 13:15-22
15In those daysH3117 I sawH7200 in JudahH3063 some treadingH1869 wine pressesH1660 on the sabbathH7676, and bringing inH935 sheavesH6194, and putting them onH6006 donkeysH2543; as also wineH3196, grapesH6025, and figsH8384, and all manner of burdensH4853, which they broughtH935 into JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117: and I testifiedH5749 against them in the dayH3117 when they soldH4376 foodH6718. 16There dweltH3427 men of TyreH6876 also in the city, who broughtH935 fishH1709, and all kinds of waresH4377, and soldH4376 on the sabbathH7676 to the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, and in JerusalemH3389. 17Then I contendedH7378 with the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063, and saidH559 to them, What evilH7451 thingH1697 is this that ye doH6213, and profaneH2490 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117? 18DidH6213 not your fathersH1 thus, and didH935 not our GodH430 bringH935 all this evilH7451 upon us, and upon this cityH5892? yet ye bringH935 moreH3254 wrathH2740 upon IsraelH3478 by profaningH2490 the sabbathH7676. 19And it came to pass, that when the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 began to be darkH6751 beforeH6440 the sabbathH7676, I commandedH559 that the gatesH1817 should be shutH5462, and chargedH559 that they should not be openedH6605 till afterH310 the sabbathH7676: and I setH5975 some of my servantsH5288 at the gatesH8179, that there should no burdenH4853 be brought inH935 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. 20So the merchantsH7402 and sellersH4376 of all kind of waresH4465 lodgedH3885 outside ofH2351 JerusalemH3389 onceH6471 or twiceH8147. 21Then I testifiedH5749 against them, and saidH559 to them, Why lodgeH3885 ye beforeH5048 the wallH2346? if ye do so againH8138, I will layH7971 handsH3027 on you. From that timeH6256 forth they cameH935 no more on the sabbathH7676.1 22And I commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 that they should cleanseH2891 themselves, and that they should comeH935 and keepH8104 the gatesH8179, to sanctifyH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. RememberH2142 me, O my GodH430, concerning this also, and spareH2347 me according to the greatnessH7230 of thy mercyH2617.2
