Nehemiah 13:21 in Context — Nehemiah 13
19 Puis j’ordonnai qu’on fermât les portes de Jérusalem avant le sabbat, dès qu’elles seraient dans l’ombre, et qu’on ne les ouvrît qu’après le sabbat. Et je plaçai quelques-uns de mes serviteurs aux portes, pour empêcher l’entrée des fardeaux le jour du sabbat.
20 Alors les marchands et les vendeurs de toutes sortes de choses passèrent une ou deux fois la nuit hors de Jérusalem.
21 Je les avertis, en leur disant: Pourquoi passez-vous la nuit devant la muraille? Si vous le faites encore, je mettrai la main sur vous. Dès ce moment, ils ne vinrent plus pendant le sabbat.
22 J’ordonnai aussi aux Lévites de se purifier et de venir garder les portes pour sanctifier le jour du sabbat. Souviens-toi de moi, ô mon Dieu, à cause de cela, et protège-moi selon ta grande miséricorde!
23 A cette même époque, je vis des Juifs qui avaient pris des femmes asdodiennes, ammonites, moabites.
