She so carefully preserved the Word of God to the point that they would not so much as write a representative of the name of God without changing clothes and ceremonial washings after which they wrote the name in symbols.

The meticulous preservation of the Word was so careful, so diligent that it pleased God. Thus, they heaped upon themselves his everlasting preservation for their preservation of His Word.
