Contemporary English Version

²¹ But I warned them, “If you do this again, I'll have you arrested.” From then on, they did not come on the Sabbath. ²² I ordered the Levites to make themselves holy and to guard the gates on the Sabbath, so that it would be kept holy.

God is truly merciful, and I pray that he will treat me with kindness and bless me for doing this.
