Nechemyah13
Nehemiah · Chapter 13
On that day they read in the book of Mosheh in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of Elohim for ever;
Because they met not the children of Yisra'el with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our Elohim turned the curse into a blessing.
Now it came to pass, when they had heard the torah, that they separated from Yisra'el all the mixed multitude.
And before this, Eliashib the kohen, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our Elohim,
was allied unto Tobiah:
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 kohanim.
But in all this
time was not I at Yerushalayim: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Bavel came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
And I came to Yerushalayim, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of Elohim.
And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of Elohim, with the meat offering and the frankincense.
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.
Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of Elohim forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the kohen, 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.
Remember me, O my Elohim, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my Elohim, and for the offices thereof.
In those days saw I in Judah
some treading winepresses on the shabbat, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all
manner of burdens, which they brought into Yerushalayim on the shabbat day: and I testified
against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.
There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the shabbat unto the children of Judah, and in Yerushalayim.
Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing
is this that ye do, and profane the shabbat day?
Did not your fathers thus, and did not our Elohim bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Yisra'el by profaning the shabbat.
And it came to pass, that when the gates of Yerushalayim began to be dark before the shabbat, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the shabbat: and
some
of my servants set I at the gates,
that there should no burden be brought in on the shabbat day.
So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Yerushalayim 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 shabbat.
And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and
that they should come
and keep the gates, to sanctify the shabbat day. Remember me, O my Elohim,
concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
In those days also saw I Jews
that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon,
and of Moab:
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.
And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by Elohim,
saying,
Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
Did not Shelomoh king of Yisra'el sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his Elohim, and Elohim made him king over all Yisra'el: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our Elohim in marrying strange wives?
And
one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high kohen,
was son in torah to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.
Remember them, O my Elohim, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the b'rit of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the kohanim and the Levites, every one in his business;
And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my Elohim, for good.
