尼希米记 13:2 CUNPSS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nehemiah 13:1-3

The history of Moab's conduct to Israel, and the vile attempt of Balaam, we have Numbers 22:23-24 . And the Lord's commands in consequence we have Deuteronomy 23:3-5 . But added to these, the prohibition of alliances with the people of the land was among the distinguishing features of the Lord's covenant. God's people were to dwell alone, and not to be reckoned among the nations. Oh! how precious and blessed is it in all this to eye Jesus. I must not dismiss these verses without first taking... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 13:1-9

1-9 Israel was a peculiar people, and not to mingle with the nations. See the benefit of publicly reading the word of God; when it is duly attended to, it discovers to us sin and duty, good and evil, and shows wherein we have erred. We profit, when we are thus wrought upon to separate from evil. Those that would drive sin out of their hearts, the living temples, must throw out its household stuff, and all the provision made for it; and take away all the things that are the food and fuel of... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Nehemiah 13:1-99

Nehemiah 13 IN SPITE OF these good features, marking the dedication of the wall things were not perfect. On that day they again read in the 'book of Moses', and found what had been written concerning their separation from the Ammonite and Moabite, in Deut 23.0 . This led to a fresh concern as to the way they had failed in obedience, and a fresh separation from 'the mixed multitude', and further discovery of how, amongst leaders in their very midst, this instruction had been ignored. Eliashib,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Nehemiah 13:1-14

In the Temple and its Services v. 1. On that day, namely, the day of the dedication of the walls, they read in the Book of Moses in the audience of the people, evidently the Book of Deuteronomy 7:1-Joshua :; Deuteronomy 23:3-Ruth :; and therein was found written that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God forever, neither by being made a part of the Jewish nation nor by entering into its organization through marriage; to be exact, no Moabite or Ammonite... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Nehemiah 13:1-31

Nehemiah 13:1-301On that day [of dedication] they read [it was read] in the book of Moses in the audience [ears] of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever; 2because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but [and] hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit [and] our God turned the 3curse into a blessing. Now [And] it came to pass, when they had heard the law,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Nehemiah 13:1-14

Neglect of Religious Duties Nehemiah 12:44-47 ; Nehemiah 13:1-14 In Nehemiah 12:44-47 we have recorded the care that was manifested for the worthy maintenance of those who ministered in sacred things. As a result there were glad outbursts of minstrelsy and holy joy. Make room in your life for songs and praises, Psalms 33:1 . In the opening of Nehemiah 13:1-31 we see how the Word of God cuts like a two-edged sword against evil. Happy are they who attend to its solemn warnings. The law... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Nehemiah 13:1-31

In this final section we have the account of Nehemiah's last reformation, After building the wall he had evidently gone back to the court of the king. Twelve years later, seeking permission, he returned, and the last deeds recorded were such as reveal the continued strength and loyalty of the man. Four abuses confronted him. Without the slightest hesitation, or any sign of weakness in his method, he set himself to correct them. Eliashib, the priest, had given place, within the very Temple of... read more

The Establishment Of The Temple Treasury, And The Chambers To Contain The Heave-offerings, Firstfruits and Tithes That Were Offered To YHWH, Their Restoration, And The Exclusion Of All Who Religiously Defiled Jerusalem (Nehemiah 12:44 to Nehemiah 13:14 ). Equally of importance with the celebrations over the completion of the wall, were the arrangements made to ensure that Jerusalem continued to be the holy city, set apart to YHWH, purified from all that religiously defiled, and fulfilling... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 13:1-31

THE PURIFYING OF THE HOLY CITY (Nehemiah 12:27 to Nehemiah 13:31 ). The prophecies concerning Jerusalem as ‘the holy city’ had in mind the coming eschatalogical age, and its consequent purification (Isaiah 52:1; Daniel 9:24), and there can be little doubt, in view of the hopes expressed in the prophecies of Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, that this age must have been in mind as Jerusalem was so triumphantly re-established. Thus the writer ends his book with a description of the purification... read more
