Nehemiah 13:21-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
21 Then (A)I [a]warned them and said to them, “Why do you spend the night in front of the wall? If you do so again, I will [b]use force against you.” From that time on they did not come on the sabbath. 22 And I commanded the Levites that (B)they should purify themselves and come as gatekeepers to sanctify the sabbath day. For this also (C)remember me, O my God, and have compassion on me according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness.

New International Version
21 But I warned them and said, “Why do you spend the night by the wall? If you do this again, I will arrest you.” From that time on they no longer came on the Sabbath. 22 Then I commanded the Levites to purify themselves and go and guard the gates in order to keep the Sabbath day holy.
Remember(A) me for this also, my God, and show mercy to me according to your great love.
23 Moreover, in those days I saw men of Judah who had married(B) women from Ashdod, Ammon and Moab.(C)
