Nehemiah 13:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² That’s because they hadn’t given the people of Israel food and water. Instead, they had hired Balaam to put a curse on them. But our God turned the curse into a blessing. ³ When that law was read, the people of Judah obeyed it. They sent out of Israel everyone who was from another nation.

⁴ Eliashib the priest had been put in charge of the storerooms in the house of our God. He had worked closely with Tobiah.
