Nehemiah 1:7New International Reader's VersionWe’ve done some very evil things. We haven’t obeyed the commands, rules and laws you gave your servant Moses. See the chapter |
But he didn’t put their children to death. He obeyed what is written in the Law, the Book of Moses. There the Lord commanded, “Parents must not be put to death because of what their children do. And children must not be put to death because of what their parents do. People must die because of their own sins.” (Deuteronomy 24:16)
