Verse 13 is found in chapter 6 of Nehemiah. Nehemiah rejects the invitation to hide in the temple proposed by Shemaiah. He perceives that the advice does not come from God and that accepting a refuge reserved for priestly functions would compromise his position. The episode teaches that not every proposal presented in religious language should be accepted without discernment.
