Nehemiah 13:21-23
Legacy Standard Bible
21 Then (A)I [a]warned them and said to them, “Why do you spend the night in front of the wall? If you do so again, I will send forth my hand against you.” From that time on they did not come on the sabbath. 22 And I said to the Levites that (B)they should cleanse themselves and come as gatekeepers to keep the sabbath day holy. For this also (C)remember me, O my God, and have compassion on me according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness.
You Shall Not Marry Foreigners
23 In those days I also saw that the Jews had [b](D)married women from (E)Ashdod, (F)Ammon, and Moab.

New International Version

Remember(A) me for this also, my God, and show mercy to me according to your great love.
23 Moreover, in those days I saw men of Judah who had married(B) women from Ashdod, Ammon and Moab.(C)
