Nehemiah 13:2-4
New English Translation
2 for they had not met the Israelites with food[a] and water, but instead had hired Balaam to curse them. (Our God, however, turned the curse into blessing.) 3 When they heard the law, they removed from Israel all who were of mixed ancestry.
4 But before this time, Eliashib the priest, a relative of Tobiah, had been appointed over the storerooms[b] of the temple of our God.
