Exegesis
The relative clause asher lo yiftachum ad achar haShabbat {אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִפְתָּחוּם עַד אַחַר הַשַּׁבָּת | ʾa-šer lō yip-ta-ḥûm ʿad ā-ḥar ha-šab-bāt} ‘that they shall not open until after the Sabbath’ establishes the prohibition.
The prepositional phrase u-minne'arai he'emadti {וּמִנְּעָרַי הֶעֱמַדְתִּי | u-min-ne-ʿa-rā-yî he-ʿe-maḏ-tî} ‘and I stationed from my young men’ emphasizes personal oversight, and the clause lo yavo masa beyom haShabbat {לֹא־יָבוֹא מַשָּׂא בְּיוֹם הַשַבָּת | lō-yā-vo ma-śāʾ be-yôm ha-šab-bat} ‘that no burden shall come on the Sabbath day’ presents the Sabbath restriction. The English rendering maintains Hebrew sequence and clarity.
Root and etymology
ש־ב־ת
“to cease, rest”
In context — Nehemiah 13:19
When evening shadows fell at the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I ordered the doors to be closed, and I commanded that they must not be opened until after the Sabbath. I stationed some of my young men at the gates, so that no burden would be brought in on the Sabbath day.
