Nehemiah 13:20-31

So the merchants
<07402> (8802)

and sellers
<04376> (8802)

of all kind of ware
<04465>

lodged
<03885> (8799)

without
<02351>

Jerusalem
<03389>

once
<06471>

or twice
<08147>_.

Then I testified
<05749> (8686)

against them, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Why lodge
<03885> (8801)

ye about
<05048>

the wall
<02346>_?

if ye do [so] again
<08138> (8799)_,

I will lay
<07971> (8799)

hands
<03027>

on you. From that time
<06256>

forth came
<0935> (8804)

they no [more] on the sabbath
<07676>_.

{about: Heb. before}

And I commanded
<0559> (8799)

the Levites
<03881>

that they should cleanse
<02891> (8693)

themselves, and [that] they should come
<0935> (8802)

[and] keep
<08104> (8802)

the gates
<08179>_,

to sanctify
<06942> (8763)

the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_.

Remember
<02142> (8798)

me, O my God
<0430>_,

[concerning] this also, and spare
<02347> (8798)

me according to the greatness
<07230>

of thy mercy
<02617>_.

{greatness: or, multitude}

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}

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}

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}

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)_.

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>_?

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.

Remember
<02142> (8798)

them, O my God
<0430>_,

because they have defiled
<01352>

the priesthood
<03550>_,

and the covenant
<01285>

of the priesthood
<03550>_,

and of the Levites
<03881>_.

{because...: Heb. for the defilings}

Thus cleansed
<02891> (8765)

I them from all strangers
<05236>_,

and appointed
<05975> (8686)

the wards
<04931>

of the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_,

every one
<0376>

in his business
<04399>_;

And for the wood
<06086>

offering
<07133>_,

at times
<06256>

appointed
<02163> (8794)_,

and for the firstfruits
<01061>_.

Remember
<02142> (8798)

me, O my God
<0430>_,

for good
<02896>_.
