13:8-9 I became very upset. . . . I demanded: When people rejected God’s instructions, Nehemiah refused to be silent. • Everything associated with the Temple had to be purified and consecrated to God. The clothes that the priests and Levites wore (Exod 29), the priests themselves (Lev 8–9), the Temple building and altars (Lev 16:15-33), and all the holy things (1 Chr 23:28) were purified (cp. 2 Chr 29:5, 15-19).
