Nehemiah 13:21-23

Young's Literal Translation

²¹ and I testify against them, and say unto them, `Wherefore are ye lodging over-against the wall? if ye repeat [it], a hand I put forth upon you;' from that time they have not come in on the sabbath.

²² And I say to the Levites, that they be cleansed, and, coming in, keeping the gates, to sanctify the sabbath-day. Also, this, remember for me, O my God, and have pity on me, according to the abundance of Thy kindness.

²³ Also, in those days, I have seen the Jews [who] have settled women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab.
