And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, 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.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 13 of Nehemiah. Nehemiah orders the gates of Jerusalem closed before the Sabbath and appoints servants to prevent merchants from entering. When some remain outside, he warns them again. The reform combines authority, vigilance, and a conception of the Sabbath as protected communal time free from commercial pressure.
