And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
Les dije a los levitas que se purificaran y vinieran a guardar las puertas para mantener santo el día de reposo. Acuérdate también de mí por esto, oh Dios mío, y ten misericordia de mí conforme a tu gran amor.
Nehemías pidió a los levitas que guardaran las puertas en el día de reposo y rogó a Dios que lo recordara con misericordia por su fidelidad.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of Nehemiah, the Jewish people had returned from exile in Babylon and were rebuilding Jerusalem, but they often neglected God's laws, including the proper observance of the Sabbath. Nehemiah, as a governor appointed by the Persian king, took decisive action to enforce these laws by commanding the Levites to purify themselves and guard the city gates, ensuring no work was done on the Sabbath to restore spiritual purity. This was part of a larger reform movement to help the community recommit to God's covenant after years of disobedience.
