Neemia 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).

Neemia 13:1 In-Context

1 In quel tempo si lesse in presenza del popolo il libro di Mosè, e vi si trovò scritto che l’Ammonita e il Moabita non debbono mai in perpetuo entrare nella raunanza di Dio,
2 perché non eran venuti incontro ai figliuoli d’Israele con del pane e dell’acqua, e perché aveano prezzolato a loro danno Balaam, per maledirli; ma il nostro Iddio convertì la maledizione in benedizione.
3 E quando il popolo ebbe udita la legge, separò da Israele ogni elemento straniero.
4 Or prima di questo, il sacerdote Eliascib, ch’era preposto alle camere della casa del nostro Dio ed era parente di Tobia,
5 avea messo a disposizione di quest’ultimo una camera grande là dove, prima d’allora, si riponevano le offerte, l’incenso, gli utensili, la decima del grano, del vino e dell’olio, tutto ciò che spettava per legge ai Leviti, ai cantori, ai portinai, e la parte che se ne prelevava per i sacerdoti.
