Nehemiah 13:22

Read in context

Nehemiah 13:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 Once or twice, the merchants and those who sell all kinds of goods camped outside Jerusalem,

21 but I warned them, “Why are you camping in front of the wall? If you do it again, I will lay hands on you.” From that time on, they did not return on the Sabbath.

22 Then I instructed the Levites to purify themselves and guard the gates in order to keep the Sabbath day holy. Remember me for this as well, O my God, and show me mercy according to Your abundant loving devotion.

23 In those days I also saw Jews who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.

24 Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or of the other peoples, but could not speak the language of Judah.
