2 And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: ⁿ“We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.

23 In those days also I saw the Jews ^vwho had married women ^wof Ashdod, ^xAmmon, and ^xMoab.

27 Shall we then listen to you and do all this great evil and ^cact treacherously against our God by marrying foreign women?”

16 and you take of ^atheir daughters for your sons, and their daughters ^ywhore after their gods and make your sons whore after their gods.

3 ^kYou shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons,

30 ^qWe will not give our daughters to the peoples of the land or take their daughters for our sons.
