Nehemiah's Final Reforms

1

On that day the Book of Moses was read aloud in the hearing of the people

and there it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever be

admitted into the assembly of God,

2

because they had not met the Israelies with food and water

but had hired Balaam to call a curse down on them.

(Our God, however, turned the curse into a blessing.)

3

When the people heard this law, they excluded from Israel

all who were of foreign descent.

4

Before this, Eliashib the priest had been put in charge of the storerooms

of the house of our God. He was closely associated with Tobiah,

5

and he provided him with a large room formerly used to store the grain

offerings and incense and temple articles, and also the tithes of grain,

new wine and oil prescribed for the Levites, singers and gatekeepers,

as well as the contributions for the priests.

6

But while all this was going on, I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year

of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Some time later I asked

his permission

7

and came back to Jerusalem. Here I learned about the evil thing Rliashib had done

in providing Tobiah a room in the courts of the house of God.

8

I was greatly displeased and threw all Tobiah's household goods out of the room.

9

I gave the orders to purify the rooms, and then I put back into them the equipment

of the house of God, with the grain offerings and the incense.

10

I also learned that the portions assigned to the Levites had not been given

to them, and that all the Levites and singers responsible for the service had gone

back to their own fields.

11

So I rebuked the officials and asked them, "Why is the house of God neglected?"

Then I called them together and and stationed them at their posts.

12

All Judah brought the tithes of grain, new wine oil and oil into the storerooms.

13

I put Shelamiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and a Levite named Pedaiah

in charge of the storerooms and made Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah,

because these men were considered trustworthy. They were made responsible

for distributing the supplies to their brothers.

14

Remember for this, O my God, and do not blot out

what I have so faithfully done for the house of my God and its services.

15

In those days I saw men in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath

and bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys, together with wine, grapes,

figs and all other kinds of loads. And they were bringing all this into Jerusalem

on the Sabbath. Therefore I warned them against selling food on that day. 

16

Men from Tyre who lived in Jerusalem were bringing in fish and all kinds of

merchandise and selling them in Jerusalem on the Sabbath to the people of Judah.

17

I rebuked the nobles of Judah and said to them,

"What is this wicked thing, you are doing - desecrating the Sabbath day?

18

Didn't your forefathers do the same things, so that our God brought all this calamity

upon us and upon this city? Now you are stirring up more wrath against Israel

by desecrating the Sabbath."

19

When evening shadows fell on the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath,

I ordered the doors to be shut and not opened until the Sabbath was over.

I stationed some of my own men at the gates so that no load could

be brought in on the Sabbath day.

20

Once or twice the merchants and sellers of all kinds of goods spent

the night outside Jerusalem.

21

But I warned them and said, "Why do you spend the night by the wall?

If you do this again I will lay hands on you," From that time on

they no longer came on the Sabbath.

22

Then I commanded the Levites to purify themselves and go and guard

the gates in order to keep the Sabbath day holy. Remember me for this also,

O my God, and show mercy to me according to your great love.

23

Moreover, in those days I saw men of Judah who had married woman

from Ashdod, Ammon and Moab.

24

Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or the language of one

of the other peoples, and did not know how to speak the language of Judah.

25

I rebuked them and called curses down on them. I beat some of the men

and pulled out their hair. I made them take an oath in God's name and said:

"You are not to give your daughters in marriage to their sons, nor are you

to take their daughters in marriage for your sons or for yourselves.

26

Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned?

Amng the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God,

and God made him king over all Israel,

but even he was led into sin by foreign women.

27

Must we hear now that you too are doing all this terrible wickedness

and are being unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women?"

28

One of the sons of Joiada son of Eliashib the high priest was son-in-law

to Sanballat the Horonite. And I drove him away from me.

29

Remember them, O my God, because they defiled the priestly office

and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.

30

So I purified thepriests and the Levites of everything foreign,

and assigned them duties, each to his own task.

31

I also made provision for contributions of wood at designated times,

and for the firstfruits. Remember me with favor, O my God.
