The verses these writers stop at

  • 13:15 In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath, bringing in heaps of grain and loading them on donkeys, along with wine, grapes, figs, and every kind of load, and bringing them into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. I warned them on the day they sold food. 1
  • 13:19 When the shadows fell on the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I ordered the doors to be shut and gave orders that they were not to be opened until after the Sabbath. I stationed some of my own men at the gates so that no load could be brought in on the Sabbath day. 1
  • 13:22 Then I told the Levites to purify themselves and come and guard the gates, so as to keep the Sabbath day holy. Remember me, my God, for this also, and spare me according to the greatness of your faithful love. 1
