Nehemiah 13:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²¹ but I warned them, “Why are you camping in front of the wall? If you do it again, I’ll use force^[a] against you.” After that they did not come again on the Sabbath. ²² Then I instructed the Levites to purify themselves^(A) and guard the gates in order to keep the Sabbath day holy.^(B)

Remember me for this also, my God,^(C) and look on me with compassion in keeping with Your abundant, faithful love.^(D)

²³ In those days I also saw Jews who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.^(E)
