Ezra Prays About Intermarriage

1 After these things had been done, the officials approached me and said, “The people of Israel and the priests and the ^aLevites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands ^bwith their abominations, from the ^cCanaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. 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.”

Ezra 10:2

2 And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: ^h“We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.

Nehemiah 13:23
