Neemias

  • Foreigners Excluded

  • |Neemias 13:1| On that day they read aloud from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and there was found written in it that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God,

  • |Neemias 13:2| because they did not meet the sons of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

  • |Neemias 13:3| So when they heard the law, they excluded all foreigners from Israel. Tobiah Expelled and the Temple Cleansed

  • |Neemias 13:4| Now prior to this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being related to Tobiah,

  • |Neemias 13:5| had prepared a large room for him, where formerly they put the grain offerings, the frankincense, the utensils and the tithes of grain, wine and oil prescribed for the Levites, the singers and the gatekeepers, and the contributions for the priests.

  • |Neemias 13:6| But during all this time I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had gone to the king. After some time, however, I asked leave from the king,

  • |Neemias 13:7| and I came to Jerusalem and learned about the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, by preparing a room for him in the courts of the house of God.

  • |Neemias 13:8| It was very displeasing to me, so I threw all of Tobiah's household goods out of the room.

  • |Neemias 13:9| Then I gave an order and they cleansed the rooms; and I returned there the utensils of the house of God with the grain offerings and the frankincense. Tithes Restored

  • |Neemias 13:10| I also discovered that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers who performed the service had gone away, each to his own field.
