Nehemiah 13:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² I spoke also to the Levites that they should be purified, and should come to keep the gates, and to sanctify the sabbath day: for this also remember me, O my God, and spare me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

²³ In those days also I saw Jews that married wives, women of Azotus, and of Ammon, and of Moab.

²⁴ And their children spoke half in the speech of Azotus, and could not speak the Jews' language, but they spoke according to the language of this and that people.
