Nehemiah 13:23-30

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.
Remember
<02142> (8798)
them, O my God
<0430>_,
because they have defiled
<01352>
the priesthood
<03550>_,
and the covenant
<01285>
of the priesthood
<03550>_,
and of the Levites
<03881>_.
{because...: Heb. for the defilings}
Thus cleansed
<02891> (8765)
I them from all strangers
<05236>_,
and appointed
<05975> (8686)
the wards
<04931>
of the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>_,
every one
<0376>
in his business
<04399>_;
