Nehemiah 13:1-9

1On that dayH3117 they readH7121 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872 in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971; and in it was foundH4672 writtenH3789, that the AmmoniteH5984 and the MoabiteH4125 should not comeH935 into the congregationH6951 of GodH430 forH5704 everH5769;12 2Because they metH6923 not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 with breadH3899 and with waterH4325, but hiredH7936 BalaamH1109 against them, that he should curseH7043 them: but our GodH430 turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293. 3Now it came to pass, when they had heardH8085 the lawH8451, that they separatedH914 from IsraelH3478 all the mixed multitudeH6154. 4And beforeH6440 this, EliashibH475 the priestH3548, having the oversightH5414 of the chamberH3957 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, was alliedH7138 to TobiahH2900:3 5And he had preparedH6213 for him a greatH1419 chamberH3957, where beforeH6440 they laidH5414 the meat offeringsH4503, the frankincenseH3828, and the vesselsH3627, and the tithesH4643 of the grainH1715, the new wineH8492, and the oilH3323, which was commandedH4687 to be given to the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the portersH7778; and the offeringsH8641 of the priestsH3548.4 6But in all this time I was not at JerusalemH3389: for in the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 I cameH935 to the kingH4428, and afterH7093 certain daysH3117 I obtained leaveH7592 of the kingH4428:56 7And I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and understoodH995 of the evilH7451 that EliashibH475 didH6213 for TobiahH2900, in preparingH6213 for him a chamberH5393 in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. 8And it grievedH3415 me greatlyH3966: therefore I cast forthH7993 all the householdH1004 goodsH3627 of TobiahH2900 out ofH2351 the chamberH3957. 9Then I commandedH559, and they cleansedH2891 the chambersH3957: and there I brought againH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, with the meat offeringH4503 and the frankincenseH3828.
