Nehemiah 13:20-22

21st Century King James Version

²⁰ So the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice.

²¹ 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 they came no more on the Sabbath.

²² 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.
