Nehemiah 13:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and water: and they hired against them Balaam, to curse them, and our God turned the curse into blessing.

³ And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated every stranger from Israel.

⁴ And over this thing was Eliasib the priest, who was set over the treasury of the house of our God, and was near akin to Tobias.
