Nehemiah 13:1
day <03117> [that day.]
Some suppose that the events recorded in these verses took place several years after those related in the preceding chapter, while Nehemiah was absent at the Persian court; but the introductory language, on that day, seems rather to imply that they occurred immediately, or at least about that time.

Moabite <04125> [Moabite.]
