Nehemiah 13:21-23

Revised Geneva Translation

²¹ And I reproved them, and said to them, “Why do you stay all night around the wall? If you do it again, I will lay hands on you!” From that time, they no longer came on the Sabbath.

²² And I said to 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, and pardon me according to Your great mercy.

²³ Also in those days, I saw Jews who married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab.
