Nehemiah 13:19
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.
KJV
Factum est autem, cum quievissent portæ Jerusalem in die sabbati, dixi : et clauserunt januas, et præcepi ut non aperirent eas usque post sabbatum : et de pueris meis constitui super portas, ut nullus inferret onus in die sabbati.
Vulgate
καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα κατέστησαν πύλαι Ἰερουσαλὴμ πρὸ τοῦ σαββάτου, καὶ ἔκλεισα τὰς πύλας, καὶ εἶπα ὥστε μὴ ἀνοιγῆναι αὐτὰς ὀπίσω τοῦ σαββάτου· καὶ ἔστησα ἐπὶ τὰς πύλας, ὥστε μὴ αἴρειν βαστάγματα ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ σαββάτου.
LXX
And it came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
