Nehemiah 13:21-23

International Standard Version

²¹ I argued with them, “Why are you staying outside the wall? If you do this again, I’ll arrest you.” From that time on, they didn’t come anymore on the Sabbath. ²² Then I commanded the descendants of Levi to purify themselves and to come as gate keepers to sanctify the Sabbath day.

Remember me, my God, and show mercy to me according to the greatness of your gracious love.

Removing Foreign Spouses^(A)

²³ At that time I also noticed that Jews had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
