Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Moreover, in these days, saw I the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab; ²⁴ and, their children, were one–half speaking the language of Ashdod, and understood not how to speak the language of the Jews,––but after the tongue of both people. ²⁵ So I contended with them, and laid a curse upon them, and I smote, from among them, certain men, and pulled out their hair,––and I put them on oath by God, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take of their daughters, for your sons nor for yourselves.
