Contextual Overview
1 On that day they read from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people. And there was found written in it that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever gather together to worship with the people of God. 2 It was because they did not meet the sons of Israel with food and water, but paid Balaam to curse them. Yet our God turned the curse into good. 3 When the people heard the Law, they kept out all those of other nations from Israel. 4 Before this, Eliashib the religious leader, who watched over the store-rooms of the house of our God, being close to Tobiah, 5 made a room for him. They had before used the room to store the grain gifts, special perfume, dishes, and the tenth part of grain, wine and oil to be given to the Levites, the singers and the gate-keepers, and the gifts for the religious leaders. 6 But during all this time I was not in Jerusalem. For in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon, I had gone to the king. Then after some time, I asked the king to let me go, 7 and came to Jerusalem. I learned about the sinful thing Eliashib had done for Tobiah, by giving a room for him in the house of God. 8 I was very angry, and threw all the things of Tobiah's house out of the room. 9 Then I said that the rooms must be made clean, and put back the things of the house of God with the grain gifts and the special perfume.
