Nehemiah 13:1-9

At that time  the book of Moses  was read publicly to  the people.  The command was found written in it that no Ammonite or Moabite  should ever enter the assembly of God,  because they did not meet the Israelites with food and water. Instead, they hired Balaam against them to curse them,  but our God turned the curse into a blessing.  When they heard the law, they separated all those of mixed descent  from Israel. Now before this, the priest Eliashib  had been put in charge of the storerooms of the house of our God.  He was a relative  of Tobiah  and had prepared a large room for him where they had previously stored the grain offerings, the frankincense, the articles, and the tenths of grain, new wine, and fresh oil  prescribed for the Levites, singers, and gatekeepers, along with the contributions for the priests.  While all this was happening, I was not in Jerusalem, because I had returned to King Artaxerxes  of Babylon  in the thirty-second year of his reign.  It was only later that I asked the king for a leave of absence  so I could return to Jerusalem. Then I discovered the evil that Eliashib had done on behalf of Tobiah by providing him a room in the courts of God’s house. I was greatly displeased and threw all of Tobiah’s household possessions out of the room. I ordered that the rooms be purified,  and I had the articles of the house of God restored there, along with the grain offering and frankincense.
