Nehemiah 13:21-23
New King James Version
21 Then I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you spend the night [a]around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you!” From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath. 22 And I commanded the Levites that (A)they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day.

23 In those days I also saw Jews who (B)had married women of (C)Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
