1Now when theseH428 thingsH428 had been completedH3615, the officialsH8269 approachedH5066 me, sayingH559, “The peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 and the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 have not 1separatedH914 themselves from the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776, 2as to their abominationsH8441, those of the CanaanitesH3669, the HittitesH2850, the PerizzitesH6522, the JebusitesH2983, the AmmonitesH5984, the MoabitesH4125, the EgyptiansH4713, and the AmoritesH567.

2For 3they have takenH5375 someH4480 of their daughtersH1323 as wives for themselves and for their sonsH1121, so that 4the holyH6944 5lineH2233 has 6intermingledH6148 with the peoplesH5971 of the landsH776; indeed, the handsH3027 of the officialsH8269 and the leadersH5461 have takenH1961 the leadH7223 in thisH2088 unfaithfulnessH4604.”
