Néhémie 13:22-23

22 J'ordonnai aussi aux Lévites de se purifier et de venir garder les portes pour sanctifier le jour du sabbat. Souviens-toi de moi, ô mon Dieu, à cause de cela, et protège-moi selon ta grande miséricorde!

23 A cette même époque, je vis des Juifs qui avaient pris des femmes asdodiennes, ammonites, moabites.

Néhémie 13:22-23 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.
