*
Now when these things were done ,
the princes came to me ,
saying ,
The people of Israel ,
and the priests ,
and the Levites ,
have not separated themselves from the people 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 .
*
For they have taken of their daughters for themselves ,
and for their sons :
so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands :
yea ,
the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass .
