2 band you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; cyou shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done?Ezra 9:2
2 dFor they have taken some of their daughters to be wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the eholy race ▼▼Hebrew offspring
has gmixed itself with the peoples of the lands. And in this faithlessness the hand of the officials and chief men has been foremost.” Nehemiah 13:23-27
23In those days also I saw the Jews hwho had married women iof Ashdod, jAmmon, and kMoab. 24And half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod, and they could not speak the language of Judah, but only the language of each people. 25 lAnd I confronted them and cursed them and beat some of them and pulled out their hair. mAnd I made them take an oath in the name of God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves. 26 nDid not Solomon king of Israel sin on account of such women? oAmong the many nations there was no king like him, and he was pbeloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless, foreign women made even him to sin. 27Shall we then listen to you and do all this great evil and qact treacherously against our God by marrying foreign women?”
