Nehemiah 13:19

The Message Bible (MSG)

As the gates of Jerusalem were darkened by the shadows of the approaching Sabbath, I ordered the doors shut and not to be opened until the Sabbath was over. I placed some of my servants at the gates to make sure that nothing to be sold would get in on the Sabbath day.
— Nehemiah 13:19 (MSG)
