1
On that day
they read
in the book
of Moses
in the audience
of the people
;
and therein was found
written
,
that the Ammonite
and the Moabite
should not come
into the congregation
of God
for
ever
;
2
Because they met
not the children
of Israel
with bread
and with water
,
but hired
Balaam
against
them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God
turned
the curse
into a blessing
.
3
Now it came to pass, when they had heard
the law
,
that they separated
from Israel
all
the mixed multitude
.
4
And before
this, Eliashib
the priest
,
having the oversight
of the chamber
of the house
of our God
,
was
allied
unto Tobiah
:
5
And he had prepared
for him a great
chamber
,
where
aforetime
they laid
the meat offerings
,
the frankincense
,
and the vessels
,
and the tithes
of the corn
,
the new wine
,
and the oil
,
which was commanded
to be given
to the Levites
,
and the singers
,
and the porters
;
and the offerings
of the priests
.
6
But in
all
this
time
was
not
I at Jerusalem
: for in the two and thirtieth
year
of Artaxerxes
king
of Babylon
came
I unto the
king
,
and after
certain days
obtained I leave
of the
king
:
7
And I came
to Jerusalem
,
and understood
of the evil
that Eliashib
did
for Tobiah
,
in preparing
him a chamber
in the courts
of the house
of God.
8
And it grieved
me sore
: therefore I cast forth
all
the household
stuff
of Tobiah
out of
the chamber
.
9
Then I commanded
,
and they cleansed
the chambers
:
and thither brought I again
the vessels
of the house
of God
,
with the meat offering
and the frankincense
.
10
And I perceived
that the portions
of the Levites
had not been given
them
: for the Levites
and the singers
,
that did
the work
,
were fled
every one
to his field
.
11
Then contended
I with the rulers
,
and said
,
Why
is the house
of God
forsaken
? And I gathered them together
,
and set
them in their place
.
12
Then brought
all Judah
the tithe
of the corn
and the new wine
and the oil
unto the treasuries
.
13
And I made treasurers
over the treasuries
,
Shelemiah
the priest
,
and Zadok
the scribe,
and of the Levites
,
Pedaiah
: and next to them
was
Hanan
the son
of Zaccur
,
the son
of Mattaniah
:
for they were counted
faithful
,
and their office
was
to distribute
unto their brethren
.
14
Remember
me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out
my good
deeds that I have done
for the house
of my God
,
and for the offices
thereof.
15
In
those
day
s
saw
I in Judah
some
treading
wine presses
on the sabbath
,
and bringing in
sheaves
,
and lading
asses
;
as also wine
,
grapes
,
and figs
,
and all
manner of
burdens
,
which they brought
into Jerusalem
on the sabbath
day
:
and I testified
against them
in the
day
wherein they sold
victuals
.
16
There dwelt
men of Tyre
also therein, which brought fish,
and all
manner of ware
,
and sold
on the sabbath
unto the children
of Judah
,
and in Jerusalem
.
17
Then I contended
with the nobles
of Judah
,
and said
unto them,
What
evil
thing
is
this that ye do
,
and profane
the sabbath
day?
18
Did
not your fathers
thus, and did
not our God
bring
all
this evil upon us, and upon this
city
? yet ye
bring
more
wrath
upon Israel
by profaning
the sabbath
.
19
And it
came
to pass, that when the gates
of Jerusalem
began to be dark
before
the sabbath
,
I commanded
that the gates
should be shut
, and charged
that they should
no
t be opened
till after
the sabbath
:
and
some
of my servants
set
I at the gates
,
that
there should
no
burden
be brought in
on
the sabbath
day
.
20
So the merchants
and sellers
of all kind of ware
lodged
without
Jerusalem
once
or twice
.
21
Then I testified
against them, and said unto them,
Why
lo
dge
ye about
the
wall
? if ye
do
so
again,
I will lay
hands
on you. From that time
forth came
they no
more
on the sabbath
.
22
And I commanded
the Levites
that they should cleanse
themselves, and
that
they should come
and
keep
the gates,
to sanctify
the sabbath
day
.
Remember
me, O my God,
concerning
this
also
, and spare
me according to the greatness
of thy mercy
.
23
In
those
days
also
saw
I Jews
that
had married
wives
of Ashdod, of Ammon,
and
of Moab
:
24
And their children
spake
half
in the speech of Ashdod
,
and could
not speak
in the Jews' language
,
but according to the language
of each
people
.
25
And I contended
with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair,
and made them swear
by God
,
saying
, Ye shall not give
your daughters
unto their sons
,
nor
take
their daughters
unto your sons
, or for yourselves.
26
Did
no
t Solomon
king
of Israel
sin
by
these
things? yet among many
nations
was there
no
king
like
him, who was beloved
of his God
,
and God
made
him
king
over
all
Israel
:
nevertheless even him
did outlandish
women
cause to
sin
.
27
Sh
all
we then hearken
unto you to do
all
this great
evil,
to transgr
ess
against our God
in marrying
strange
wives?
28
And
one
of the sons
of Joiada,
the son
of Eliashib
the high
priest
,
was
son in law
to Sanballat
the Horonite
:
therefore I chased
him from me.
29
Remember
them, O my God,
because
they have defiled
the priesthood
,
and the covenant
of
the priesthood
,
and of the Levites
.
30
Thus cleansed
I them from all strangers
,
and appointed
the wards
of the priests
and the Levites
,
every one
in his business
;
31
And for the wood
offering
,
at times
appointed
,
and for the firstfruits
.
Remember
me, O my God, for good.
