3 So it was, when they had heard the Law, athat they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.
The Reforms of Nehemiah
4 Now before this, aEliashib the priest, having authority over the storerooms of the house of our God, was allied with bTobiah.
5 And he had prepared for him a large room, awhere previously they had stored the grain offerings, the frankincense, the articles, the tithes of grain, the new wine and oil, bwhich were commanded to be given to the Levites and singers and gatekeepers, and the offerings for the priests.
6 But during all this I was not in Jerusalem, afor in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Then after certain days I obtained leave from the king,
7 and I came to Jerusalem and discovered the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in apreparing a room for him in the courts of the1 house of God.
