⮜ Nehemiah 12 | Nehemiah 14 ⮞

1 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and it was found written in it that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God forever, Nehemiah 13:1WEB
2 because they didn’t meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them; however, our God turned the curse into a blessing. Nehemiah 13:2WEB
3 It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel. Nehemiah 13:3WEB
4 Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah, Nehemiah 13:4WEB
5 had prepared for him a great room, where before they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave offerings for the priests. Nehemiah 13:5WEB
6 But in all this, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king; and after some days I asked leave of the king, Nehemiah 13:6WEB
7 and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God’s house. Nehemiah 13:7WEB
8 It grieved me severely. Therefore I threw all Tobiah’s household stuff out of the room. Nehemiah 13:8WEB
9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms. I brought into them the vessels of God’s house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense again. Nehemiah 13:9WEB
10 I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had each fled to his field. Nehemiah 13:10WEB
11 Then I contended with the rulers, and said, “Why is God’s house forsaken?” I gathered them together, and set them in their place. Nehemiah 13:11WEB
12 Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil to the treasuries. Nehemiah 13:12WEB
13 I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute to their brothers. Nehemiah 13:13WEB
14 Remember me, my God, concerning this, and don’t wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances. Nehemiah 13:14WEB
15 In those days I saw some men treading wine presses on the Sabbath in Judah, bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; and I testified against them in the day in which they sold food. Nehemiah 13:15WEB
16 Some men of Tyre also lived there, who brought in fish and all kinds of wares, and sold on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. Nehemiah 13:16WEB
17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, “What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the Sabbath day? Nehemiah 13:17WEB
18 Didn’t your fathers do this, and didn’t our God bring all this evil on us and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.” Nehemiah 13:18WEB
19 It came to pass that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. I set some of my servants over the gates, so that no burden should be brought in on the Sabbath day. Nehemiah 13:19WEB
20 So the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares camped outside of Jerusalem once or twice. Nehemiah 13:20WEB
21 Then I testified against them, and said to them, “Why do you stay around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you.” From that time on, they didn’t come on the Sabbath. Nehemiah 13:21WEB
22 I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember me for this also, my God, and spare me according to the greatness of your loving kindness. Nehemiah 13:22WEB
23 In those days I also saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab; Nehemiah 13:23WEB
24 and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people. Nehemiah 13:24WEB
25 I contended with them, cursed them, struck certain of them, plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves. Nehemiah 13:25WEB
26 Didn’t Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin. Nehemiah 13:26WEB
27 Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?” Nehemiah 13:27WEB
28 One of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I chased him from me. Nehemiah 13:28WEB
29 Remember them, my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites. Nehemiah 13:29WEB
30 Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners and appointed duties for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work; Nehemiah 13:30WEB
31 and for the wood offering, at appointed times, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good. Nehemiah 13:31WEB
