Nehemiah 13:1-7

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>_.

13:4

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}

13:5

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}

13:6

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}

13:7

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>_.
