Darby's French Translation

Néhémie 13:21

et je les admonestai, et leur dis: Pourquoi passez-vous la nuit devant la muraille? Si vous le faites encore, je mettrai la main sur vous. Depuis ce temps-là, ils ne sont pas venus le jour du sabbat.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Je leur fis des remontrances, et leur dis: Pourquoi passez-vous la nuit devant la muraille? Si vous y retournez, je mettrai la main sur vous. Depuis ce temps-là, ils ne vinrent plus le jour du sabbat.
Louis Segond (1910)
Je les avertis, en leur disant: Pourquoi passez-vous la nuit devant la muraille? Si vous le faites encore, je mettrai la main sur vous. Dès ce moment, ils ne vinrent plus pendant le sabbat.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Et je les sommai [de ne faire plus cela], et je leur dis : Pourquoi passez-vous la nuit devant la muraille? Si vous y retournez, je mettrai la main sur vous. Ainsi, depuis ce temps-là, ils ne vinrent plus le jour du Sabbat.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

I testified: Nehemiah 13:15

about the wall: Heb. before the wall

I will lay: Ezra 7:26, Romans 13:3, Romans 13:4, 1 Peter 2:14

Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 5:14 - thy stranger John 11:53 - from

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then I testified against them,.... Against their continuance there, and threatened them, and called heaven and earth to witness what he would do to them, if they did not depart:

why lodge ye about the wall? of the city, waiting an opportunity to get in, and tempting the Jews to come out and buy their ware:

if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you; beat them, or slay them, at least imprison them:

from that time forth came they no more on the sabbath; finding there was no likelihood of getting into the city, and that they were liable to be taken up and punished.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The lodging of the merchants with their merchandise just outside Jerusalem during the Sabbath, marked their impatience for the moment when they might bring their wares in. This was thought by Nehemiah to be unseemly, and to have an irreligious tendency.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 21. I will lay hands on you — I will imprison every man of you. This had the desired effect; they came no more.
