Energetic in building the sheepgate, sanctifying and setting up its doors; but relationship to [[Tobiah]] the [[Ammonite]] outweighed regard for the sanctity of the temple. Nehemiah was angry with him for preparing a room therein for his pagan connection (Nehemiah 13:4-7), in opposition to God's prohibition (Deuteronomy 23:3-4).

"Therefore (says Nehemiah) I chased him from me. [[Remember]] them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood."
