When the people heard this law, they excluded from Israel all who were of foreign descent.

As soon as the people heard the law, they separated from Israel all those of foreign descent.

When this passage of the Law was read, all those of foreign descent were immediately excluded from the assembly.

When they heard the law, they separated all those of mixed descent from Israel.

So when they heard the Law, they excluded all foreigners from Israel.

So it was, when they had heard the Law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.

And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

When they heard the law, they separated all those of mixed descent from Israel.

Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

When they heard the law, they removed from Israel all who were of mixed ancestry.

It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.

The Israelites separated themselves from everyone else. They stood and admitted they had sinned. They also admitted that their people before them had sinned.

So did many other people. The Israelites also took large flocks and herds with them.

Some people with them began to wish for other food. Again the Israelites began to cry out. They said,“ We wish we had meat to eat.

The rest of the people gathered together. They included the priests, the Levites and the men who guarded the gates. They included the musicians and temple servants. They also included all the people who separated themselves from the surrounding nations to obey the Law of God. All these men brought their wives with them. And they brought all their sons and daughters who were old enough to understand what was being agreed to.

Now honor the Lord, the God of your people. Then do what he wants you to do. Separate yourselves from the nations around you. Send away your wives from other lands.”

Your father’s command is like a lamp. Your mother’s teaching is like a light. And whatever instructs and corrects you leads to life.

The law of the Lord is perfect. It gives us new strength. The laws of the Lord can be trusted. They make childish people wise.The rules of the Lord are right. They give joy to our hearts. The commands of the Lord shine brightly. They give light to our minds.The law that brings respect for the Lord is pure. It lasts forever. The commands the Lord gives are true. All of them are completely right.They are more priceless than gold. They have greater value than huge amounts of pure gold. They are sweeter than honey that is taken from the honeycomb.Your servant is warned by them. When people obey them, they are greatly rewarded.

So no one will be considered right with God by obeying the law. Instead, the law makes us more aware of our sin.

I have hidden your word in my heart so that I won’t sin against you.

Here are the beliefs and way of life that God our Father accepts as pure and without fault. When widows are in trouble, take care of them. Do the same for children who have no parents. And don’t let the world make you impure.

How can a young person keep their life pure? By living according to your word.
