17:19 Observing the rest day
Go and stand in at gate of the people where Yehudah’s kings come and go,
then in all the other gates of Yerushalem.
20 Tell the people:
Listen to Yahweh’s message, you kings of Yehudah and all you people of Yehudah,
and all of Yerushalem’s residents who go in through those gates.
Be careful for the sake of your lives
and on the rest day, don’t carry a load to bring it to Yerushalem’s gates.[ref]
22 Don’t bring a load out from your homes on the rest day.
Don’t do any work, but set apart the rest day,
just as I instructed your ancestors to do.
23 They did not listen or pay attention,
but stubbornly refused to listen to me, nor did they accept discipline.
24 Yahweh declares that if you carefully listen to me
and don’t bring a load to this city’s gates on the rest day
but instead set apart the rest day for Yahweh, and don’t do any work on it,
25 then kings, princes, and those who sit on David’s throne
will come to this city’s gates in chariots and on horses.
They’ll come along with their leaders from Yehudah including Yerushalem’s residents,
and this city will be inhabited forever.
26 They’ll come from Yehudah’s cities including from all around Yerushalem,
from the Benyamin region and the foothills,
from the mountains, and from the Negev desert,
bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense,
as well as those who bring thank offerings to Yahweh’s residence.
27 But if you don’t listen to me
and don’t set apart the rest day
and don’t carry heavy loads to enter Yerushalem’s gates on the rest day,
then I’ll light a fire at its gates that will incinerate Yerushalem’s fortresses,
and that won’t be able to be put out.
Neh 13:15-22:
13:15 The rest day
15 In those days I saw people in Yehudah working on the rest day—treading wine, bringing in grain, and loading donkeys, yes, even bringing wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of loads into Yerushalem on the rest day. I complained to them when they were selling the goods.[ref] 16 Also, people from Tsor (Tyre) were bringing in fish and all kinds of merchandise and were selling it on the rest day to the Israelis, even in Yerushalem. 17 I rebuked the Yehudah business leaders, asking them, “What’s this evil thing that you’re all doing—profaning the rest day by treating it like a regular day? 18 Wasn’t that what your ancestors did—the very reason our god brought all this evil on us and on this city? Now you’re all making God angry with Yisrael again by profaning the rest day.”
19 So after that, when it started to get dark on Friday evenings, I ordered that the city gates be closed, and not to be opened until after the rest day. I also stationed some of my young men to stand at the gates to ensure that no load could enter on the rest day. 20 Some traders and merchants selling various goods camped outside the city walls once or twice, 21 but I warned them, “Why are you camping there outside the wall? If you do it again, I’ll have you all removed.” After that, they no longer came on the rest days. 22 Then I told the Levites that they should purify themselves and then come to the gates to monitor them on the rest day.
My god, remember me having to deal with this, and show your amazing loyal faithfulness towards me.
