Nehemiah 13:26 in Context — Nehemiah 13
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?
28 Un des fils de Jojada, fils d’Éliaschib, le souverain sacrificateur, était gendre de Sanballat, le Horonite. Je le chassai loin de moi.
