Nehemiah 13:24 in Context — Nehemiah 13
22 J’ordonnai aussi aux Lévites de se purifier et de venir garder les portes pour sanctifier le jour du sabbat. Souviens-toi de moi, ô mon Dieu, à cause de cela, et protège-moi selon ta grande miséricorde!
23 A cette même époque, je vis des Juifs qui avaient pris des femmes asdodiennes, ammonites, moabites.
24 La moitié de leurs fils parlaient l’asdodien, et ne savaient pas parler le juif; ils ne connaissaient que la langue de tel ou tel peuple.
25 Je leur fis des réprimandes, et je les maudis; j’en frappai quelques-uns, je leur arrachai les cheveux, et je les fis jurer au nom de Dieu, en disant: Vous ne donnerez pas vos filles à leurs fils, et vous ne prendrez leurs filles ni pour vos fils ni pour vous.
26 N’est-ce pas en cela qu’a péché Salomon, roi d’Israël? Il n’y avait point de roi semblable à lui parmi la multitude des nations, il était aimé de son Dieu, et Dieu l’avait établi roi sur tout Israël; néanmoins, les femmes étrangères l’entraînèrent aussi dans le péché.
