Text -- Nehemiah 13:27-31 (NET)

Strongs On/Off

Context

13:27 Should we then in your case hear that you do all this great evil, thereby being unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign wives?” 13:28 Now one of the sons of Joiada son of Eliashib the high priest was a son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonite. So I banished him from my sight. 13:29 Please remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, the covenant of the priesthood, and the Levites. 13:30 So I purified them of everything foreign, and I assigned specific duties to the priests and the Levites. 13:31 I also provided for the wood offering at the appointed times and also for the first fruits. Please remember me for good, O my God.
