Nehemías 13:1 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 13:1

On that day
Not when the wall of the city was dedicated, nor quickly after; for it cannot be thought that people should be so corrupted so soon as this chapter shows; but when Nehemiah had governed them twelve years, and had been at Babylon, and was returned again, as appears from ( Nehemiah 13:6 ) , compared with ( Nehemiah 2:1 Nehemiah 2:6 ) ( 7:2 ) ,

they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people;
for from the time of the reading of the law by Ezra, ( Nehemiah 8:1 ) it became a custom to read the law publicly:

and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should
not come into the congregation of the Lord;
that is, be admitted to marry with any of the people of Israel; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 23:3).

Nehemías 13:1 In-Context

1 Aquel día leyeron del libro de Moisés a oídos del pueblo; y se encontró escrito en él que los amonitas y los moabitas no debían entrar jamás en la asamblea de Dios,
2 porque no recibieron a los hijos de Israel con pan y agua, sino que contrataron contra ellos a Balaam para maldecirlos; pero nuestro Dios convirtió la maldición en bendición.
3 Y sucedió que cuando oyeron la ley, excluyeron de Israel a todo extranjero.
4 Antes de esto, el sacerdote Eliasib, encargado de los aposentos de la casa de nuestro Dios, y que era pariente de Tobías,
5 le había preparado un gran aposento, donde anteriormente colocaban las ofrendas de cereal, el incienso, los utensilios, y los diezmos del cereal, del mosto y del aceite prescritos para los levitas, los cantores y los porteros, y las contribuciones para los sacerdotes.
