Nehemiah 13:30 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 13:30

Thus cleansed I them from all strangers
Both people and priests from strange wives, obliging them to put them away, or flee their country:

and appointing the wards of the priests and the Levites, everyone in
his business:
to do the work of their office in their courses and turns.

Nehemiah 13:30 In-Context

28 And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was a son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I drove him from me.

29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.

30 Thus I cleansed them of everything pagan. I also assigned duties to the priests and the Levites, each to his service,

31 and to bringing the wood offering and the firstfruits at appointed times. Remember me, O my God, for good!
