Neemia 13:25

La Riveduta Bibbia

E io li censurai, li maledissi, ne picchiai alcuni, strappai loro i capelli, e li feci giurare nel nome di Dio che non darebbero le loro figliuole ai figliuoli di costoro, e non prenderebbero le figliuole di coloro per i loro figliuoli né per loro stessi.

Parallel Translations

La Nuova Diodati
Allora io li rimproverai, li maledissi, ne picchiai alcuni, strappai loro i capelli, li feci quindi giurare nel nome di DIO che non avrebbero dato le loro figlie ai figli di costoro e non avrebbero preso le figlie di quelli per i loro figli n per se stessi.

Giovanni Diodati Bibbia
Ed io contesi con loro, e li maledissi, e ne percossi alcuni, e divelsi loro i capelli; poi li feci giurare per lo Nome di Dio, che non darebbero le lor figliuole a’ figliuoli di que’ popoli, e che non prenderebbero delle lor figliuole, nè per li lor figliuoli, nè per sè stessi.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I contended with them,.... Argued with them, faithfully admonished them, and sharply reproved them:

and cursed them; assuring them that the curse of God would come upon them, unless they repented. Aben Ezra interprets it of excommunicating them, either with "Cherem" or "Niddui", which were two sorts of excommunication among the Jews; but it is a question whether as yet those were used by them:

and smote certain of them; ordered them to be beaten with rods or scourges, as transgressors of the law:

and plucked off their hair; or ordered it to be plucked off by the executioner that smote them; which sort of punishment, as it was painful, it was disgraceful and ignominious, see Isaiah 1:6,

and made them swear by God, saying, ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves; not intermarry with them; this they had sworn to before,

Nehemiah 10:29.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 25. I contended with them — Proved the fact against these iniquitous fathers, in a legal assembly.

And cursed them — Denounced the judgments of God and the sentence of the law upon them.

Smote certain of them — Had them punished by whipping.

And plucked off their hair — Had them shaven, as a mark of the greatest ignominy.

And made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give] Caused them to bind themselves by an oath, that they would make no intermarriages with those who were not of the seed of Israel.
