Nehemiah 13

On that day
<03117>

they read
<07121> (8738)

in the book
<05612>

of Moses
<04872>

in the audience
<0241>

of the people
<05971>_;

and therein was found
<04672> (8738)

written
<03789> (8803)_,

that the Ammonite
<05984>

and the Moabite
<04125>

should not come
<0935> (8799)

into the congregation
<06951>

of God
<0430>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_;

{they...: Heb. there was read} {audience: Heb. ears}

Because they met
<06923> (8765)

not the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

with bread
<03899>

and with water
<04325>_,

but hired
<07936> (8799)

Balaam
<01109>

against them, that he should curse
<07043> (8763)

them: howbeit our God
<0430>

turned
<02015> (8799)

the curse
<07045>

into a blessing
<01293>_.

Now it came to pass, when they had heard
<08085> (8800)

the law
<08451>_,

that they separated
<0914> (8686)

from Israel
<03478>

all the mixed multitude
<06154>_.

And before
<06440>

this, Eliashib
<0475>

the priest
<03548>_,

having the oversight
<05414> (8803)

of the chamber
<03957>

of the house
<01004>

of our God
<0430>_,

[was] allied
<07138>

unto Tobiah
<02900>_:

{having...: Heb. being set over}

And he had prepared
<06213> (8799)

for him a great
<01419>

chamber
<03957>_,

where aforetime
<06440>

they laid
<05414> (8802)

the meat offerings
<04503>_,

the frankincense
<03828>_,

and the vessels
<03627>_,

and the tithes
<04643>

of the corn
<01715>_,

the new wine
<08492>_,

and the oil
<03323>_,

which was commanded
<04687>

[to be given] to the Levites
<03881>_,

and the singers
<07891> (8789)_,

and the porters
<07778>_;

and the offerings
<08641>

of the priests
<03548>_.

{which...: Heb. the commandment of the Levites}

But in all this [time] was not I at Jerusalem
<03389>_:

for in the two
<08147>

and thirtieth
<07970>

year
<08141>

of Artaxerxes
<0783>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came
<0935> (8804)

I unto the king
<04428>_,

and after
<07093>

certain days
<03117>

obtained I leave
<07592> (8738)

of the king
<04428>_:

{after...: Heb. at the end of days} {obtained...: or, I earnestly requested}

And I came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and understood
<0995> (8799)

of the evil
<07451>

that Eliashib
<0475>

did
<06213> (8804)

for Tobiah
<02900>_,

in preparing
<06213> (8800)

him a chamber
<05393>

in the courts
<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_.

And it grieved
<03415> (8799)

me sore
<03966>_:

therefore I cast forth
<07993> (8686)

all the household
<01004>

stuff
<03627>

of Tobiah
<02900>

out of
<02351>

the chamber
<03957>_.

Then I commanded
<0559> (8799)_,

and they cleansed
<02891> (8762)

the chambers
<03957>_:

and thither brought I again
<07725> (8686)

the vessels
<03627>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

with the meat offering
<04503>

and the frankincense
<03828>_.

And I perceived
<03045> (8799)

that the portions
<04521>

of the Levites
<03881>

had not been given
<05414> (8738)

[them]: for the Levites
<03881>

and the singers
<07891> (8789)_,

that did
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>_,

were fled
<01272> (8799)

every one
<0376>

to his field
<07704>_.

Then contended
<07378> (8799)

I with the rulers
<05461>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Why is the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>

forsaken
<05800> (8738)_?

And I gathered them together
<06908> (8762)_,

and set
<05975> (8686)

them in their place
<05977>_.

{place: Heb. standing}

Then brought
<0935> (8689)

all Judah
<03063>

the tithe
<04643>

of the corn
<01715>

and the new wine
<08492>

and the oil
<03323>

unto the treasuries
<0214>_.

{treasuries: or, storehouses}

And I made treasurers
<0686> (8799)

over the treasuries
<0214>_,

Shelemiah
<08018>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Zadok
<06659>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and of the Levites
<03881>_,

Pedaiah
<06305>_:

and next to them
<03027>

[was] Hanan
<02605>

the son
<01121>

of Zaccur
<02139>_,

the son
<01121>

of Mattaniah
<04983>_:

for they were counted
<02803> (8738)

faithful
<0539> (8737)_,

and their office [was] to distribute
<02505> (8800)

unto their brethren
<0251>_.

{treasuries: or, storehouses} {next...: Heb. at their hand} {their office...: Heb. it was upon them}

Remember
<02142> (8798)

me, O my God
<0430>_,

concerning this, and wipe not out
<04229> (8686)

my good
<02617>

deeds that I have done
<06213> (8804)

for the house
<01004>

of my God
<0430>_,

and for the offices
<04929>

thereof. {good...: Heb. kindnesses} {offices: or, observations}

In those days
<03117>

saw
<07200> (8804)

I in Judah
<03063>

[some] treading
<01869> (8802)

wine presses
<01660>

on the sabbath
<07676>_,

and bringing in
<0935> (8688)

sheaves
<06194>_,

and lading
<06006> (8802)

asses
<02543>_;

as also wine
<03196>_,

grapes
<06025>_,

and figs
<08384>_,

and all [manner of] burdens
<04853>_,

which they brought
<0935> (8688)

into Jerusalem
<03389>

on the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_:

and I testified
<05749> (8686)

[against them] in the day
<03117>

wherein they sold
<04376> (8800)

victuals
<06718>_.

There dwelt
<03427> (8804)

men of Tyre
<06876>

also therein, which brought
<0935> (8688)

fish
<01709> (8675) <01709>_,

and all manner of ware
<04377>_,

and sold
<04376> (8802)

on the sabbath
<07676>

unto the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

Then I contended
<07378> (8799)

with the nobles
<02715>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What evil
<07451>

thing
<01697>

[is] this that ye do
<06213> (8802)_,

and profane
<02490> (8764)

the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_?

Did
<06213> (8804)

not your fathers
<01>

thus, and did
<0935> (0)

not our God
<0430>

bring
<0935> (8686)

all this evil
<07451>

upon us, and upon this city
<05892>_?

yet ye bring
<0935> (8686)

more
<03254> (8688)

wrath
<02740>

upon Israel
<03478>

by profaning
<02490> (8763)

the sabbath
<07676>_.

And it came to pass, that when the gates
<08179>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

began to be dark
<06751> (8804)

before
<06440>

the sabbath
<07676>_,

I commanded
<0559> (8799)

that the gates
<01817>

should be shut
<05462> (8735)_,

and charged
<0559> (8799)

that they should not be opened
<06605> (8799)

till after
<0310>

the sabbath
<07676>_:

and [some] of my servants
<05288>

set
<05975> (8689)

I at the gates
<08179>_,

[that] there should no burden
<04853>

be brought in
<0935> (8799)

on the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_.

So the merchants
<07402> (8802)

and sellers
<04376> (8802)

of all kind of ware
<04465>

lodged
<03885> (8799)

without
<02351>

Jerusalem
<03389>

once
<06471>

or twice
<08147>_.

Then I testified
<05749> (8686)

against them, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Why lodge
<03885> (8801)

ye about
<05048>

the wall
<02346>_?

if ye do [so] again
<08138> (8799)_,

I will lay
<07971> (8799)

hands
<03027>

on you. From that time
<06256>

forth came
<0935> (8804)

they no [more] on the sabbath
<07676>_.

{about: Heb. before}

And I commanded
<0559> (8799)

the Levites
<03881>

that they should cleanse
<02891> (8693)

themselves, and [that] they should come
<0935> (8802)

[and] keep
<08104> (8802)

the gates
<08179>_,

to sanctify
<06942> (8763)

the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_.

Remember
<02142> (8798)

me, O my God
<0430>_,

[concerning] this also, and spare
<02347> (8798)

me according to the greatness
<07230>

of thy mercy
<02617>_.

{greatness: or, multitude}

In those days
<03117>

also saw
<07200> (8804)

I Jews
<03064>

[that] had married
<03427> (8689)

wives
<0802>

of Ashdod
<0796>_,

of Ammon
<05984>_,

[and] of Moab
<04125>_:

{had...: Heb. had made to dwell with them}

And their children
<01121>

spake
<01696> (8764)

half
<02677>

in the speech of Ashdod
<0797>_,

and could
<05234> (8688)

not speak
<01696> (8763)

in the Jews' language
<03066>_,

but according to the language
<03956>

of each
<05971>

people
<05971>_.

{could...: Heb. they discerned not to speak} {of each...: Heb. of people and people}

And I contended
<07378> (8799)

with them, and cursed
<07043> (8762)

them, and smote
<05221> (8686)

certain
<0582>

of them, and plucked off their hair
<04803> (8799)_,

and made them swear
<07650> (8686)

by God
<0430>_,

[saying], Ye shall not give
<05414> (8799)

your daughters
<01323>

unto their sons
<01121>_,

nor take
<05375> (8799)

their daughters
<01323>

unto your sons
<01121>_,

or for yourselves. {cursed: or, reviled}

Did not Solomon
<08010>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

sin
<02398> (8804)

by these things? yet among many
<07227>

nations
<01471>

was there no king
<04428>

like him, who was beloved
<0157> (8803)

of his God
<0430>_,

and God
<0430>

made
<05414> (8799)

him king
<04428>

over all Israel
<03478>_:

nevertheless even him
<01571>

did outlandish
<05237>

women
<0802>

cause to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

Shall we then hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto you to do
<06213> (8800)

all this great
<01419>

evil
<07451>_,

to transgress
<04603> (8800)

against our God
<0430>

in marrying
<03427> (8687)

strange
<05237>

wives
<0802>_?

And [one] of the sons
<01121>

of Joiada
<03111>_,

the son
<01121>

of Eliashib
<0475>

the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>_,

[was] son in law
<02860>

to Sanballat
<05571>

the Horonite
<02772>_:

therefore I chased
<01272> (8686)

him from me.

Remember
<02142> (8798)

them, O my God
<0430>_,

because they have defiled
<01352>

the priesthood
<03550>_,

and the covenant
<01285>

of the priesthood
<03550>_,

and of the Levites
<03881>_.

{because...: Heb. for the defilings}

Thus cleansed
<02891> (8765)

I them from all strangers
<05236>_,

and appointed
<05975> (8686)

the wards
<04931>

of the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_,

every one
<0376>

in his business
<04399>_;

And for the wood
<06086>

offering
<07133>_,

at times
<06256>

appointed
<02163> (8794)_,

and for the firstfruits
<01061>_.

Remember
<02142> (8798)

me, O my God
<0430>_,

for good
<02896>_.
