Nehemiah 13:1
(Book
Chapter:Verse) |
|
On that
day they read in the book of Moses in the
audience of the people; and therein was
found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite
should not enter into the assembly of God
for ever, |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:2 |
|
because
they met not the children of Israel with
bread and with water, but hired Balaam against
them, to curse them: howbeit our God turned
the curse into a blessing. |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:3 |
|
And it came
to pass, when they had heard the law, that
they separated from Israel all the mixed
multitude. |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:4 |
|
Now before
this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed
over the chambers of the house of our God,
being allied unto Tobiah, |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:5 |
|
had prepared
for him a great chamber, where aforetime
they laid the meal-offerings, the frankincense,
and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain,
the new wine, and the oil, which were given
by commandment to the Levites, and the singers,
and the porters; and the heave-offerings
for the priests. |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:6 |
|
But in all
this time I was not at Jerusalem;
for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes
king of Babylon I went unto the king: and
after certain days asked I leave of the
king, |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:7 |
|
and I came
to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that
Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing
him a chamber in the courts of the house
of God. |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:8 |
|
And it grieved
me sore: therefore I cast forth all the
household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:9 |
|
Then I commanded,
and they cleansed the chambers: and thither
brought I again the vessels of the house
of God, with the meal-offerings and the
frankincense. |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:10 |
|
And I perceived
that the portions of the Levites had not
been given them; so that the Levites and
the singers, that did the work, were fled
every one to his field. |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:11 |
|
Then contended
I with the rulers, and said, Why is the
house of God forsaken? And I gathered them
together, and set them in their place. |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:12 |
|
Then brought
all Judah the tithe of the grain and the
new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:13 |
|
And 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 unto their brethren.
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:14 |
|
Remember
me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe
not out my good deeds that I have done for
the house of my God, and for the observances
thereof. |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:15 |
|
In those
days saw I in Judah some men treading wine-presses
on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves,
and lading asses therewith; as also wine,
grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens,
which they brought into Jerusalem on the
sabbath day: and I testified against them
in the day wherein they sold victuals. |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:16 |
|
There dwelt
men of Tyre also therein, who brought in
fish, and all manner of wares, and sold
on the sabbath unto the children of Judah,
and in Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:17 |
|
Then I contended
with the nobles of Judah, and said unto
them, What evil thing is this that ye do,
and profane the sabbath day? |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:18 |
|
Did not
your fathers thus, and did not our God bring
all this evil upon us, and upon this city?
yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning
the sabbath. |
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:19 |
|
And 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 till after
the sabbath: and some of my servants set
I over the gates, that there should no burden
be brought in on the sabbath day. |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:20 |
|
So the merchants
and sellers of all kind of wares lodged
without Jerusalem once or twice. |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:21 |
|
Then I testified
against them, and said unto them, Why lodge
ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I
will lay hands on you. From that time forth
came they no more on the sabbath. |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:22 |
|
And I commanded
the Levites that they should purify themselves,
and that they should come and keep the gates,
to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto
me, O my God, this also, and spare me according
to the greatness of thy lovingkindness.
|
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:23 |
|
In those
days also saw I the Jews that had married
women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
|
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:24 |
|
and their
children spake half in the speech of Ashdod,
and could not speak in the Jews' language,
but according to the language of each people.
|
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:25 |
|
And I contended
with them, and cursed them, and smote certain
of them, and plucked off their hair, and
made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall
not give your daughters unto their sons,
nor take their daughters for your sons,
or for yourselves. |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:26 |
|
Did not
Solomon king of Israel sin by these things?
yet among many nations was there no king
like him, and he was beloved of his God,
and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless
even him did foreign women cause to sin.
|
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:27 |
|
Shall we
then hearken unto you to do all this great
evil, to trespass against our God in marrying
foreign women? |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:28 |
|
And 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 13:29 |
|
Remember
them, O my God, because they have defiled
the priesthood, and the covenant of the
priesthood, and of the Levites. |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:30 |
|
Thus cleansed
I them from all foreigners, and appointed
charges for the priests and for the Levites,
every one in his work; |
|
|
|
|
| Nehemiah 13:31 |
|
and for
the wood-offering, at times appointed, and
for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my
God, for good. |
