**Overview**
**** [Nehemiah 13:1](../../../kjv/nehemiah/13/1), Upon the reading of the law, separation is made from the mixed multitude; [Nehemiah 13:4](../../../kjv/nehemiah/13/4), Nehemiah, at his return, causes the chambers to be cleansed; [Nehemiah 13:10](../../../kjv/nehemiah/13/10), He reforms the offices in the house of God; [Nehemiah 13:15](../../../kjv/nehemiah/13/15), the violation of the sabbath; [Nehemiah 13:23](../../../kjv/nehemiah/13/23), and the marriages with the strange wives.

**that day:** Some suppose that the events recorded in these verses took place several years after those related in the preceding chapter, while Nehemiah was absent at the Persian court; but the introductory language, on that day, seems rather to imply that they occurred immediately, or at least about that time.
