Those who brought burdens in and sold on the Sabbath, and the gates to be shut before the Sabbath

안식일에 짐을 지고 들어와 파는 자들과 안식일 전에 닫게 한 성문

Nehemiah 13:15–22: the speaker (“I”) writes, “In those days I saw some men treading wine presses on the Sabbath in Judah, bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; and I testified against them in the day in which they sold food. Some men of Tyre also lived there, who brought in fish and all kinds of wares, and sold on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.” The speaker contends with the nobles of Judah, and says to them, “What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the Sabbath day? Didn’t your fathers do this, and didn’t our God bring all this evil on us and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.” The speaker writes, “It came to pass that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. I set some of my servants over the gates, so that no burden should be brought in on the Sabbath day.” So the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares camp outside of Jerusalem once or twice. The speaker testifies against them, and says to them, “Why do you stay around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you.” The text says, “From that time on, they didn’t come on the Sabbath.” The speaker writes, “I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day.” The speaker then says, “Remember me for this also, my God, and spare me according to the greatness of your loving kindness.” The Korean Revised Version names Jerusalem at 13:16 (예루살렘에 거하며, lived in Jerusalem) where WEB reads “lived there”; and it gives the commands of 13:19 and 13:22 in the words commanded (열지 말라, do not open; 거룩하게 하라, keep holy), where WEB reports them.
