Nehemiah 13:1-3

13:1

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}

13:2

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>_.

13:3

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>_.

Nehemiah 13:23-28

13:23

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}

13:24

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}

13:25

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}

13:26

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)_.

13:27

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>_?

13:28

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.
