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.
Forsoþe it was doon, whanne þe yatis of Jerusalem hadden restid in þe dai of sabat, Y seide, Schitte ye þe yatis; and þei schittiden þe yatis; and I comaundide, þat þei schuden not opene tho yatis til aftir þe sabat. And of my children Y ordeynede noumbris on þe yatis, þat no man schulde brynge in a birthun in þe dai of sabat.
