Nehemiah 13 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Now prior ^H6440 to this ^H2088, Eliashib ^H475 the priest ^H3548, who was appointed ^H5414 over the chambers ^H3957 of the house ^H1004 of our God ^H430, being [fn]related ^H7138 to Tobiah ^H2900,

I also [fn]discovered ^H3045 that the portions ^H4521 of the Levites ^H3881 had not been given ^H5414 to them, so the Levites ^H3881 and the singers ^H7891 who performed ^H6213 the service ^H4399 had [fn]gone ^H1272 away ^H1272, each ^H376 to his own field ^H7704.

In those ^H1992 days ^H3117 I saw ^H7200 in Judah ^H3063 people who were treading ^H1869 wine ^H1660 presses ^H1660 on the Sabbath ^H7676, and bringing ^H935 in ^H935 sacks ^H6194 of ^H6194 grain ^H6194 and loading ^H6006 them on donkeys ^H2543, as well ^H637 as wine ^H3196, grapes ^H6025, figs ^H8384, and every ^H3605 kind of load ^H4853, and they were bringing ^H935 them into Jerusalem ^H3389 on the Sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117. So I admonished ^H5749 them on the day ^H3117 they sold ^H4376 food ^H6718.

And it came ^H1961 about ^H1961 that just ^H834 as ^H834 it became ^H6751 dark ^H6751 at the gates ^H8179 of Jerusalem ^H3389 before ^H6440 the Sabbath ^H7676, I ordered ^H559 that the doors ^H1817 be shut ^H5462, [fn]and that they were not to open ^H6605 them until ^H5704 after ^H310 the Sabbath ^H7676. Then I stationed ^H5975 some of my servants ^H5288 at the gates ^H8179 so that no ^H3808 load ^H4853 would enter ^H935 on the Sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117.

In those ^H1992 days ^H3117 I also ^H1571 saw ^H7200 that the Jews ^H3064 had [fn]married ^H3427 women ^H802 from Ashdod ^H796, Ammon ^H5985, and Moab ^H4125.

So I purified ^H2891 them from everything ^H3605 foreign ^H5236, and assigned ^H5975 duties ^H4931 to the priests ^H3548 and the Levites ^H3881, each ^H376 in his work ^H4399,
