So after hearing the law, they took out of Israel all the mixed people.

The seed of Israel made themselves separate from all the men of other nations. They publicly requested forgiveness for their sins and the wrongdoing of their fathers.

Many other people also went with them, along with large numbers of sheep, goats, and cattle.

Some foreigners among the Israelites had a strong craving for other kinds of food. Even the Israelites cried again and said: If only we had meat to eat!

And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gate keepers, the music-makers, the Nethinim, and all those who made themselves separate from the peoples of the lands, to keep the Law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge and wisdom;

Give praise to Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the strange women.

The law of Jehovah is perfect. It gives new life. The testimony of Jehovah is dependable. It makes the simple wise.

How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to your word.

Your word I have treasured in my heart that I may not sin against you.

For the commandment is a lamp. The law is light. Reproofs for instruction are the way of life.

No flesh will be justified before God by works of the law. Knowledge of sin comes from the law.

Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for the fatherless persons and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself without spot from the world.
