The Ammonites and Moabites Don't Come Into the Congregation of God Forever
The ammonite and the moabite should not come into the congregation of god forever. Why? Because they hired a false prophet to try to call down the wrath of god upon us. Nehemiah appoints priests and levites to distribute it unto their brethren. Then others continue to marry outside the covenant, much to nehemiah's dismay. Ezra would be frustrated here as well. He condemns them for their disobedience in verse 26. Yet among many nations was there no king like him who was beloved of his god,. Nevertheless, even him did outlandish women cause to sin. And then the book ends with verse 30: Thus cleanse anyone who seduces strangers out of the covenant.
