Contextual Overview

23 In those days I saw men of Judah who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab. 24 Half their children were speaking the language of Ashdod or some other place, and they couldn't speak the language of Judah. 25 I argued with those people, put curses on them, hit some of them, and pulled out their hair. I forced them to make a promise to God, saying, "Do not let your daughters marry the sons of foreigners, and do not take the daughters of foreigners as wives for your sons or yourselves. 26 Foreign women made King Solomon of Israel sin. There was never a king like him in any of the nations. God loved Solomon and made him king over all Israel, but foreign women made him sin. 27 And now you are not obedient when you do this evil thing. You are unfaithful to our God when you marry foreign wives." 28 Joiada was the son of Eliashib the high priest. One of Joiada's sons married a daughter of Sanballat the Horonite, so I sent him away from me. 29 Remember them, my God, because they made the priesthood unclean and the agreement of the priests and Levites unclean. 30 So I purified them of everything that was foreign. I appointed duties for the priests and Levites, giving each man his own job. 31 I also made sure wood was brought for the altar at regular times and that the firstfruits were brought. Remember me, my God; be kind to me.

Bible Verse Review

cleansed: Nehemiah 10:30

appointed: Nehemiah 12:1-26, 1 Chronicles 23:1 - 1 Chronicles 26:32

Reciprocal: Nehemiah 9:2 - the seed

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus cleansed I them from all strangers,.... Both people and priests from strange wives, obliging them to put them away, or flee their country:

and appointing the wards of the priests and the Levites, everyone in his business: to do the work of their office in their courses and turns.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The wards - Rather, “the offices or observances.” Nehemiah’s arrangement is probably that described in Nehemiah 11:10-22.
