Nehemiah 13:25 in Context — Nehemiah 13
23 Ví asimismo en aquellos días Judíos que habían tomado mujeres de Asdod, Ammonitas, y Moabitas:
24 Y sus hijos la mitad hablaban asdod, y conforme á la lengua de cada pueblo; que no sabían hablar judaico.
25 Y reñí con ellos, y maldíjelos, y herí algunos de ellos, y arranquéles los cabellos, y juramentélos, [diciendo]: No daréis vuestras hijas á sus hijos, y no tomaréis de sus hijas para vuestros hijos, ó para vosotros.
26 ¿No pecó por esto Salomón, rey de Israel? Bien que en muchas gentes no hubo rey como él, que era amado de su Dios y Dios lo había puesto por rey sobre todo Israel, aun á él hicieron pecar las mujeres extranjeras.
27 ¿Y obedeceremos á vosotros para cometer todo este mal tan grande de prevaricar contra nuestro Dios, tomando mujeres extranjeras?
