Nehemiah 13:23-27 In those days also I saw the Jews who had married wives of Azotus, of Ammon, and of Moab,

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ In those days also I saw the Jews who had married wives of Azotus, of Ammon, and of Moab, ²⁴ and their children spoke half in the dialect of Azotus, and did not know how to speak the Jewish language; ²⁵ and I .quarrelled with them, and reproached them, and smote some men among them, and caused some of them to be shaved, and adjured them by God, saying, You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take any of their daughters for your sons. ²⁶ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by doing so? Though among many nations there was not a king like him? Though he was beloved by God, and God had made him king over all Israel, yet strange women led him astray. ²⁷ Let us not therefore hear of your committing all this iniquity, breaking covenant with our God, and marrying strange women.
