Nehemiah 13:1-3

On that day
<03117>
they read
<07121> (8738)
in the book
<05612>
of Moses
<04872>
in the audience
<0241>
of the people
<05971>_;
and therein was found
<04672> (8738)
written
<03789> (8803)_,
that the Ammonite
<05984>
and the Moabite
<04125>
should not come
<0935> (8799)
into the congregation
<06951>
of God
<0430>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_;
{they...: Heb. there was read} {audience: Heb. ears}
Because they met
<06923> (8765)
not the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
with bread
<03899>
and with water
<04325>_,
but hired
<07936> (8799)
Balaam
<01109>
against them, that he should curse
<07043> (8763)
them: howbeit our God
<0430>
turned
<02015> (8799)
the curse
<07045>
into a blessing
<01293>_.
Now it came to pass, when they had heard
<08085> (8800)
the law
<08451>_,
that they separated
<0914> (8686)
from Israel
<03478>
all the mixed multitude
<06154>_.

Nehemiah 13:23-28

In those days
<03117>
also saw
<07200> (8804)
I Jews
<03064>
[that] had married
<03427> (8689)
wives
<0802>
of Ashdod
<0796>_,
of Ammon
<05984>_,
[and] of Moab
<04125>_:
{had...: Heb. had made to dwell with them}
And their children
<01121>
spake
<01696> (8764)
half
<02677>
in the speech of Ashdod
<0797>_,
and could
<05234> (8688)
not speak
<01696> (8763)
in the Jews' language
<03066>_,
but according to the language
<03956>
of each
<05971>
people
<05971>_.
{could...: Heb. they discerned not to speak} {of each...: Heb. of people and people}
And I contended
<07378> (8799)
with them, and cursed
<07043> (8762)
them, and smote
<05221> (8686)
certain
<0582>
of them, and plucked off their hair
<04803> (8799)_,
and made them swear
<07650> (8686)
by God
<0430>_,
[saying], Ye shall not give
<05414> (8799)
your daughters
<01323>
unto their sons
<01121>_,
nor take
<05375> (8799)
their daughters
<01323>
unto your sons
<01121>_,
or for yourselves. {cursed: or, reviled}
Did not Solomon
<08010>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
sin
<02398> (8804)
by these things? yet among many
<07227>
nations
<01471>
was there no king
<04428>
like him, who was beloved
<0157> (8803)
of his God
<0430>_,
and God
<0430>
made
<05414> (8799)
him king
<04428>
over all Israel
<03478>_:
nevertheless even him
<01571>
did outlandish
<05237>
women
<0802>
cause to sin
<02398> (8689)_.
Shall we then hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto you to do
<06213> (8800)
all this great
<01419>
evil
<07451>_,
to transgress
<04603> (8800)
against our God
<0430>
in marrying
<03427> (8687)
strange
<05237>
wives
<0802>_?
And [one] of the sons
<01121>
of Joiada
<03111>_,
the son
<01121>
of Eliashib
<0475>
the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>_,
[was] son in law
<02860>
to Sanballat
<05571>
the Horonite
<02772>_:
therefore I chased
<01272> (8686)
him from me.
