Da dette var gjort, kom lederne til meg og sa: Israels folk, prestene og levittene har ikke holdt seg atskilt fra folkene i landene, men har fulgt deres avskyeligheter, slik som kanaanittene, hetittene, perisittene, jebusittene, ammonittene, moabittene, egypterne og amorittene.
Now when these things were done, the princes drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, [doing] according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
