Nehemiah 13:21-23

New King James Version

²¹ Then I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you spend the night ^[a]around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you!” From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath. ²² And I commanded the Levites that ^(A)they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day.

Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Your mercy!

²³ In those days I also saw Jews who ^(B)had married women of ^(C)Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
