Nehemiah 2:12

2:12 I got up during the night, along with a few men who were with me. But I did not tell anyone what my God was putting on my heart to do for Jerusalem. There were no animals with me, except for the one ¹  I was riding.

Nehemiah 12:44

12:44 On that day men were appointed over the storerooms for the contributions, first fruits, and tithes, to gather into them from ²  the fields of the cities the portions prescribed by the law for the priests and the Levites, for the people of Judah ³  took delight in the priests and Levites who were ministering. ⁴ 

Nehemiah 13:19

13:19 When the evening shadows ⁵  began to fall on the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I ordered ⁶  the doors to be closed. I further directed that they were not to be opened until after the Sabbath. I positioned ⁷  some of my young men at the gates so that no load could enter on the Sabbath day.

Nehemiah 13:25

13:25 So I entered a complaint with them. I called down a curse on them, and I struck some of the men and pulled out their hair. I had them swear by God saying, “You will not marry off ⁸  your daughters to their sons, and you will not take any of their daughters as wives for your sons or for yourselves!
