Contextual Overview

¹ On that day they read the Book of Moses to the people, and they found that it said no Ammonite or Moabite should ever be allowed in the meeting to worship. ² The Ammonites and Moabites had not welcomed the Israelites with food and water. Instead, they had hired Balaam to put a curse on Israel. (But our God turned the curse into a blessing.) ³ When the people heard this teaching, they separated all foreigners from Israel. ⁴ Before that happened, Eliashib the priest, who was in charge of the Temple storerooms, was friendly with Tobiah. ⁵ Eliashib let Tobiah use one of the large storerooms. Earlier it had been used for grain offerings, incense, the utensils, and the tenth offerings of grain, new wine, and olive oil that belonged to the Levites, singers, and gatekeepers. It had also been used for gifts for the priests. ⁶ I was not in Jerusalem when this happened. I had gone back to Artaxerxes king of Babylon in the thirty-second year he was king. Finally I asked the king to let me leave. ⁷ When I returned to Jerusalem, I found out the evil Eliashib had done by letting Tobiah have a room in the Temple courtyard. ⁸ I was very upset at this, so I threw all of Tobiah's goods out of the room. ⁹ I ordered the rooms to be purified, and I brought back the utensils for God's Temple, the grain offerings, and the incense.
