Nehemiah 13:24-27

13:24

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}

13:25

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}

13:26

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)_.

13:27

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>_?
