Nehemiah 13:18

Nehemiah Begins Sabbath Reforms

¹⁷ Then reproved I the rulers in Judah, and said unto them, "What evil thing is this that ye do, and break the Sabbath day? ¹⁸ Did not our fathers even thus, and our God brought all this plague upon us and upon this city? And ye make the wrath more yet upon Israel, in that ye break the Sabbath." ¹⁹ And it fortuned, that when the ports of Jerusalem began to be dark in the evening before the Sabbath, I commanded to shut the gates, and charged that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day.
