Nehemiah 13:30

Read in context

Nehemiah 13:28–31 · Berean Standard Bible

28 Even one of the sons of Jehoiada son of Eliashib the high priest had become a son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite. Therefore I drove him away from me.

29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.

30 Thus I purified the priests and Levites from everything foreign, and I assigned specific duties to each of the priests and Levites.

31 I also arranged for contributions of wood at the appointed times, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, with favor.
