Sabbath » Observance of » By nehemiah
In those days I saw in Judah some who were treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sacks of grain and loading them on donkeys, as well as wine, grapes, figs and all kinds of loads, and they brought them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day. So I admonished them on the day they sold food.
Then I warned them and said to them, “Why do you spend the night in front of the wall? If you do so again, I will use force against you.” From that time on they did not come on the sabbath.
Trumpet » To summon soldiers » By nehemiah
As for the builders, each wore his sword girded at his side as he built, while the trumpeter stood near me.
At whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us.”
