Nehemiah 13:22 Context
20So the merchants, and sellers of all kinde of ware, lodged without Ierusalem once or twice. 21Then I testified against them, and said vnto them, Why lodge yee about the wall? If ye doe so againe, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the Sabbath. 22And I commanded the Leuites, that they should cleanse themselues, and that they should come and keepe the gates, to sanctifie the Sabbath day: Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me, according to the greatnesse of thy mercie. 23¶ In those dayes also sawe I Iewes that had maried wiues of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab: 24And their children spake halfe in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speake in the Iewes language, but according to the language of ech people.
