Nehemiah 13:3 in context

  1. 1On that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and it was found written in it that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God forever,
  2. 2because they didn’t meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them; however our God turned the curse into a blessing.
  3. 3It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.
  4. 4Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah,
  5. 5had prepared for him a great room, where before they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave offerings for the priests.
