Nehemiah 13:27-31
-
27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
-
28 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.
-
29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
-
30 Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
-
31 And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
