Ezra 9:2 in Context — Ezra 9
1 Après que cela fut terminé, les chefs s’approchèrent de moi, en disant: Le peuple d’Israël, les sacrificateurs et les Lévites ne se sont point séparés des peuples de ces pays, et ils imitent leurs abominations, celles des Cananéens, des Héthiens, des Phéréziens, des Jébusiens, des Ammonites, des Moabites, des Égyptiens et des Amoréens.
2 Car ils ont pris de leurs filles pour eux et pour leurs fils, et ont mêlé la race sainte avec les peuples de ces pays; et les chefs et les magistrats ont été les premiers à commettre ce péché.
3 Lorsque j’entendis cela, je déchirai mes vêtements et mon manteau, je m’arrachai les cheveux de la tête et les poils de la barbe, et je m’assis désolé.
4 Auprès de moi s’assemblèrent tous ceux que faisaient trembler les paroles du Dieu d’Israël, à cause du péché des fils de la captivité; et moi, je restai assis et désolé, jusqu’à l’offrande du soir.
