Ezra 9:1

A Prayer of Ezra

9:1 Now when these things had been completed, the leaders approached me and said, “The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites have not separated themselves from the local residents ¹  who practice detestable things similar to those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

Nehemia 9:2

9:2 Those truly of Israelite descent ²  separated from all the foreigners, ³  standing and confessing their sins and the iniquities of their ancestors. ⁴ 

[9:1]  ¹ tn Heb “the peoples of the lands.” So also in v. 2.

[9:2]  ² tn Heb “the seed of Israel.”

[9:2]  ³ tn Heb “sons of a foreigner.”

[9:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 9, 16, 23, 32, 34, 36).
