On that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and it was found written in it that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God forever, Deu 23:3-5Neh 9:3Deu 31:11-12Neh 13:232Ki 23:2Ezk 25:1-11Act 13:15Act 15:21 because they didn’t meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them; however, 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 It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel. Neh 9:2Exo 12:38Neh 10:28Num 11:4Jas 1:27Ezr 10:11Pro 6:23Psa 119:11
Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah, Neh 12:44Neh 13:28Neh 2:10Neh 6:17-18Neh 12:10 had prepared for him a great room, where previously they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave offerings for the priests. 2Ch 34:11Neh 10:38Neh 12:44Num 18:21-24 But in all this, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king; and after some days I asked leave of the king, Neh 5:142Ch 24:17-18Exo 32:1Ezr 6:22Mat 13:25Neh 2:1Neh 2:5-6 and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God’s house. Neh 13:5Mat 21:12-131Co 1:11Act 21:28-29Ezr 9:1Lam 1:10Neh 13:1 It grieved me severely. Therefore I threw all Tobiah’s household stuff out of the room. Ezr 10:1Ezr 9:3-4Jhn 2:13-17Mrk 11:15-17Psa 69:9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms. I brought into them the vessels of God’s house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense again. 2Ch 29:52Ch 29:15-19Neh 12:45
I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had each fled to his field. Neh 10:37Mal 3:81Ti 5:17-18Deu 12:19Mal 1:6-14Neh 12:28-29Neh 12:47Num 35:2 Then I contended with the rulers, and said, “Why is God’s house forsaken?” I gathered them together, and set them in their place. Neh 10:39Neh 13:17Neh 13:251Sa 2:17Job 31:34Mal 3:8-11Neh 5:6-13Pro 28:4 Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil to the treasuries. Neh 10:37-39Mal 3:10Neh 12:44Deu 14:22Lev 27:30Num 18:20-26 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 business was to distribute to their brothers. 2Ki 22:7Neh 7:21Co 4:22Ki 12:15Act 6:1Act 6:3Luk 16:10-12Neh 12:44
Remember me, my God, concerning this, and don’t wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances. Psa 122:6-9Heb 6:10Neh 13:22Neh 13:312Ch 31:20-21Ezr 7:20Neh 5:191Ch 29:3
In those days I saw some men treading wine presses on the Sabbath in Judah, bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; and I testified against them in the day in which they sold food. Neh 10:31Exo 34:21Neh 13:21Exo 20:8-11Isa 58:13Jer 17:21-22Deu 5:12-14Deu 8:19 Some men of Tyre also lived there, who brought in fish and all kinds of wares, and sold on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. Exo 23:12Deu 5:14 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, “What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the Sabbath day? Neh 13:11Neh 13:25Isa 1:10Jer 13:18Jer 22:2-23Jer 5:5Mic 3:1Mic 3:9 Didn’t your fathers do this, and didn’t our God bring all this evil on us and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on 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
It came to pass that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. I set some of my servants over the gates, so that no burden should 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 kinds of wares camped outside of Jerusalem once or twice. Then I testified against them, and said to them, “Why do you stay around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you.” From that time on, they didn’t come on the Sabbath. Rom 13:3-41Pe 2:14Ezr 7:26Neh 13:15 I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember me for this also, my God, and spare me according to the greatness of your loving kindness. Neh 12:30Neh 13:14Neh 13:311Ch 15:12-142Ch 29:242Ch 29:272Ch 29:302Ch 29:4-5
In those days I also saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab; Ezr 9:1-2Ezr 10:10Neh 10:302Co 6:14Neh 13:1Ezr 10:441Sa 5:1Ezr 9:11-12 and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people. Zep 3:9 I contended with them, cursed them, struck certain of them, plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves. Deu 7:3Ezr 10:5Neh 10:29-30Neh 13:17Neh 13:11Neh 5:132Ch 15:12-15Deu 25:2-3 Didn’t Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin. 1Ki 11:1-81Ki 3:13Ecc 7:262Ch 1:122Sa 12:24-252Ch 9:22 Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?” Ezr 10:21Sa 30:24
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, my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites. Neh 6:14Lev 21:1-7Mal 2:4-8Num 16:9-10Num 25:12-131Sa 2:302Ti 4:14Mal 2:10-12
Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners and appointed duties for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work; Neh 10:30Neh 12:1-261Ch 23:1-26 and for the wood offering, at appointed times, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good. Neh 13:14Neh 13:22Psa 106:4Neh 10:34Psa 25:7Psa 26:8-9Luk 23:42
