Nehemiah 13:28-30

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁸ Joiada was the son of Eliashib, the leader of the priests. One of Joiada's sons had married a daughter of Sanballat, who came from Horon. I sent Joiada's son away from Jerusalem.

²⁹ My God, remember what these people have done. They have not been faithful to you as your priests. They have spoiled the covenant that you made with the priests and the other descendants of Levi.

³⁰ After that, I made the priests and the Levites clean to serve God. I made them become separate from any foreign thing. I told each of them which job they should do.
