Nehemiah 13:28-30

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁸ Even one of Joiada’s sons was a son-in-law of Sanballat from Beth Horon. (Joiada was the son of the chief priest Eliashib.) I chased Joiada’s son away from me.

²⁹ ⌞Nehemiah prayed,⌟ “Remember them, my God, because they have contaminated the priestly office and the promise ^[a] you made to the priests and Levites.”

³⁰ So I cleansed them from everything that was foreign. I assigned duties to the priests and Levites. Each one had his own assignment.
