Nehemiah 13:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And I charged them, and I said to them: Why stay you before the wall? if you do so another time, I will lay hands on you. And from that time they came no more on the sabbath.

²² I spoke also to the Levites that they should be purified, and should come to keep the gates, and to sanctify the sabbath day: for this also remember me, O my God, and spare me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

²³ In those days also I saw Jews that married wives, women of Azotus, and of Ammon, and of Moab.
