Nehemiah13:19
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 burthen be brought in on the sabbath day.
Which was about Sun-setting by reason of the Mountains which were round about, and near Ierusalem, Psa. 125. 2.
Out of a diffidence in those to whom the keeping of the Gates was committed.
