Nehemiah 13:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁷ We can never agree to all the evil things that you have done. If we all married foreign women, we would not be faithful to our God.’

²⁸ Joiada was the son of Eliashib, the leader of the priests. One of Joiada's sons had married a daughter of Sanballat, who came from Horon. I sent Joiada's son away from Jerusalem.

²⁹ My God, remember what these people have done. They have not been faithful to you as your priests. They have spoiled the covenant that you made with the priests and the other descendants of Levi.
