And it came to pass, that when the gates{H8179} of Jerusalem{H3389} began to be dark{H6751}{(H8804)} before{H6440} the sabbath{H7676}, I commanded{H559}{(H8799)} that the gates{H1817} should be shut{H5462}{(H8735)}, and charged{H559}{(H8799)} that they should not be opened{H6605}{(H8799)} till after{H310} the sabbath{H7676}: and some of my servants{H5288} set{H5975}{(H8689)} I at the gates{H8179}, that there should no burden{H4853} be brought in{H935}{(H8799)} on the sabbath{H7676} day{H3117}.
