Nehemia 13:6-7

6 Während diesem allem war ich aber nicht in Jerusalem; denn im zweiunddreißigsten Jahre Artasastas, des Königs von Babel, war ich zu dem König zurückgekommen. Und nach Verlauf einer Zeit erbat ich mir Urlaub von dem König;

7 und als ich nach Jerusalem kam, bemerkte ich das Böse, welches Eljaschib zugunsten Tobijas getan, indem er ihm eine Zelle in den Höfen des Hauses Gottes gemacht hatte.

Nehemia 13:6-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO NEHEMIAH 13

This chapter relates the reformation of various abuses crept in among the Jews by Nehemiah, who removed the Moabites and Ammonites, mixed with them, Ne 13:1-3, threw the household goods of Tobiah out of a chamber of the temple, and restored it to its former use, Ne 13:4-9, took care that the Levites had their portion given them which had been kept from them, Ne 13:10-14 prevented the profanation of the sabbath by selling goods on that day, Ne 13:15-22, and put a stop to the marrying of strange wives, which had prevailed again among them, Ne 13:23-31.
