Nehemiah 13:22 in Context — Nehemiah 13
20 Assim os comerciantes e vendedores de toda mercadoria passaram a noite fora de Jerusalém uma ou duas vezes.
21 Por isso eu lhes adverti, dizendo: Por que vos passais a noite diante do muro? Se o fizerdes outra vez, agirei com violência contra vós. Desde então não vieram no sábado.
22 Também disse aos levitas que se purificassem, e viessem a guardar as portas, para santificar o dia de sábado. Nisto também, meu Deus, lembra-te de mim, e perdoa-me segundo a grandeza de tua bondade.
23 Vi também naqueles dias judeus que tinham se casado com mulheres de asdoditas, amonitas, e moabitas,
24 E seus filhos a metade falavam asdodita, e não sabiam falar judaico, mas sim a língua de outros povos.
