And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem were at rest on the sabbath day, I spoke. And they shut the gates: and I commanded that they should not open them till after the sabbath. And I set some of my servants at the gates, that none should bring in burthens on the sabbath day.
And I charged them, and I said to them: Why stay you before the wall? If you do so another time, I will lay hands on you. And from that time they came no more on the sabbath.
