Nehemiah 13:1-3 - Israel Separates Itself
1 On that day, a portion, was read in the book of Moses, in the ears of the people, - and it was found written therein, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not enter into the convocation of God, unto times age-abiding; 2 because they met not the sons of Israel, with bread and with water, - but hired against them Balaam, to curse them, although our God turned the curse into a blessing. 3 So it came to pass, when they had heard the law, - that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.
