On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever; 1 2 Deu 23:3-5Neh 9:3Deu 31:11-12Neh 13:232Ki 23:2Ezk 25:1-11Act 13:15Act 15:21 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing. Deu 23:5Jos 24:9-10Mic 6:5Psa 109:28Mat 25:40Num 23:8-11Num 24:5-10Num 22:3-11 Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude. Neh 9:2Exo 12:38Neh 10:28Num 11:4Jas 1:27Ezr 10:11Pro 6:23Psa 119:11
¶ And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah: 3 Neh 12:44Neh 13:28Neh 2:10Neh 6:17-18Neh 12:10 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests. 4 2Ch 34:11Neh 10:38Neh 12:44Num 18:21-24 But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king: 5 6 Neh 5:142Ch 24:17-18Exo 32:1Ezr 6:22Mat 13:25Neh 2:1Neh 2:5-6 And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God. Neh 13:5Mat 21:12-131Co 1:11Act 21:28-29Ezr 9:1Lam 1:10Neh 13:1 And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. Ezr 10:1Ezr 9:3-4Jhn 2:13-17Mrk 11:15-17Psa 69:9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense. 2Ch 29:52Ch 29:15-19Neh 12:45
¶ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field. Neh 10:37Mal 3:81Ti 5:17-18Deu 12:19Mal 1:6-14Neh 12:28-29Neh 12:47Num 35:2 Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place. 7 Neh 10:39Neh 13:17Neh 13:251Sa 2:17Job 31:34Mal 3:8-11Neh 5:6-13Pro 28:4 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries. 8 Neh 10:37-39Mal 3:10Neh 12:44Deu 14:22Lev 27:30Num 18:20-26 And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren. 9 11 10 2Ki 22:7Neh 7:21Co 4:22Ki 12:15Act 6:1Act 6:3Luk 16:10-12Neh 12:44 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof. 12 13 Psa 122:6-9Heb 6:10Neh 13:22Neh 13:312Ch 31:20-21Ezr 7:20Neh 5:191Ch 29:3
¶ In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals. Neh 10:31Exo 34:21Neh 13:21Exo 20:8-11Isa 58:13Jer 17:21-22Deu 5:12-14Deu 8:19 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. Exo 23:12Deu 5:14 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day? Neh 13:11Neh 13:25Isa 1:10Jer 13:18Jer 22:2-23Jer 5:5Mic 3:1Mic 3:9 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. Jer 17:21-23Ezk 23:26Ezk 23:8Ezr 9:13-15Jer 17:27Jer 44:9Jos 22:17-18Lev 26:18 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day. Lev 23:32Exo 31:14-17Jer 17:19-22Lev 23:22Neh 7:3 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice. Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath. 14 Rom 13:3-41Pe 2:14Ezr 7:26Neh 13:15 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy. 15 Neh 12:30Neh 13:14Neh 13:311Ch 15:12-142Ch 29:242Ch 29:272Ch 29:302Ch 29:4-5
¶ In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab: 16 Ezr 9:1-2Ezr 10:10Neh 10:302Co 6:14Neh 13:1Ezr 10:441Sa 5:1Ezr 9:11-12 And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people. 17 18 Zep 3:9 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves. 19 Deu 7:3Ezr 10:5Neh 10:29-30Neh 13:17Neh 13:11Neh 5:132Ch 15:12-15Deu 25:2-3 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin. 1Ki 11:1-81Ki 3:13Ecc 7:262Ch 1:122Sa 12:24-252Ch 9:22 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives? Ezr 10:21Sa 30:24 And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me. Neh 2:19Neh 12:10Neh 12:22Neh 2:10Neh 3:1Neh 6:17-19Neh 13:25Neh 13:4-5 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites. 20 Neh 6:14Lev 21:1-7Mal 2:4-8Num 16:9-10Num 25:12-131Sa 2:302Ti 4:14Mal 2:10-12 Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business; Neh 10:30Neh 12:1-261Ch 23:1-26 And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good. Neh 13:14Neh 13:22Psa 106:4Neh 10:34Psa 25:7Psa 26:8-9Luk 23:42
