Intermarriage with Pagans
1 When these things were done, the leaders came to me, saying, “The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not aseparated themselves from the peoples of the lands, bwith respect to the abominations of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
2 For they have ataken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the bholy seed is cmixed with the peoples of those lands. Indeed, the hand of the leaders and rulers has been foremost in this1 trespass.”
3 So when I heard this thing, aI tore my garment and my robe, and plucked out some of the hair of my head and beard, and sat down bastonished.
