And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves and come and guard the gates, to keep the sabbath day holy. Remember this also in my favor, O my God, and spare me according to the greatness of your steadfast love.
—Nehemiah 13:22
It’s is part of the soul-care of the church leaders to safeguard the Sabbath rest of God’s people.
