Nehemiah 13

The law is read, which commands that the Ammonite and Moabite should be separated from the congregation, on which they separate all the mixed multitude, Nehemiah 13:1-3 . Eliashib the high priest having not only joined opinion with Sanballat, but being also allied to Tobiah the Ammonite, and having given him some of the chambers in the court of the house of God, Nehemiah 13:4 , Nehemiah 13:5 ; Nehemiah casts out the goods of Tobiah, and purifies the chambers, Nehemiah 13:6-9 . He rectifies several evils; and the people bring the tithes of all things to the treasuries, Nehemiah 13:10-12 . He appoints treasurers, Nehemiah 13:13 , Nehemiah 13:14 ; finds that the Sabbaths had been greatly profaned by buying and selling, and rectifies this abuse, Nehemiah 13:15-22 ; finds Jews that had married strange wives; against whom he testifies, and expels one of the priests who had married the daughter of Sanballat the Horonite, Nehemiah 13:23-29 . He cleanses them from all strangers, makes a final regulation, and prays for God's mercy to himself, Nehemiah 13:30 , Nehemiah 13:31 .
