Nehemiah 13:1-5

1On that dayH3117 they readH7121 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872 in the audience of the peopleH5971; and therein was foundH4672 writtenH3789, that an AmmoniteH5984 and a MoabiteH4125 should notH3808 enterH935 intoH935 the assemblyH6951 of GodH430 for everH5769;

2becauseH3588 they metH6923 notH3808 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 with breadH3899 and with waterH4325, but hiredH7936 BalaamH1109 againstH5921 them, to curseH7045 them: howbeit our GodH430 turnedH2015 the curseH7045 intoH5921 a blessingH1293.

3And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when they had heardH8085 the lawH8451, that they separatedH914 from IsraelH3478 allH3605 the mixed multitude.

4NowH2088 beforeH6440 this, EliashibH475 the priestH3548, who was appointedH5414 over the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, beingH430 allied unto TobiahH2900,

5had preparedH6213 for him a greatH1419 chamberH3957, whereH8033 aforetime they laidH5414 the mealH4503 offeringsH4503, the frankincenseH3828, and the vesselsH3627, and the tithesH4643 of the corn, the wineH8492, and the oilH3323, whichH8033 were givenH5414 by commandmentH4687 to the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the porters; and the heaveH8641 offeringsH4503 for the priestsH3548.
