Nehemiah 13:25 in Context — Nehemiah 13
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.
27 Faut-il donc apprendre à votre sujet que vous commettez un aussi grand crime et que vous péchez contre notre Dieu en prenant des femmes étrangères?
