Nehemiah:13:19-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath ,
I commanded that the gates should be shut ,
and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath :
and some of my servants set I at the gates ,
that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day .
*
So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice .
*
Then I testified against them ,
and said unto them ,
Why lodge ye about the wall ?
if ye do so again ,
I will lay hands on you .
From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath .
*
And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves ,
and that they should come and keep the gates ,
to sanctify the sabbath day .
Remember me ,
O my God ,
concerning this also ,
and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy .
