8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wottethnot what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hathto my hand;
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept backany thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I dothis great wickedness, and sin against God?

10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turnedmy wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sakeamong them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.

Ezra 9:1 Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying,The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separatedthemselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations,even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, theAmmonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
2 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.
3 And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and pluckedoff the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.
4 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of theGod of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carriedaway; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.
5 And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and havingrent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my handsunto the LORD my God,
6 And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee,my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespassis grown up unto the heavens.
7 Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto thisday; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been deliveredinto the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, andto a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
8 And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God,to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place,that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in ourbondage.
9 For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage,but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, togive us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolationsthereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
10 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsakenthy commandments,
11 Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land,unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness ofthe people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it fromone end to another with their uncleanness.
12 Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take theirdaughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever:that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for aninheritance to your children for ever.
13 And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our greattrespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquitiesdeserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;
14 Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with thepeople of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thouhadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
15 O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped,as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for wecannot stand before thee because of this.
Ezra 10:1 Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping andcasting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him outof Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for thepeople wept very sore.
2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered andsaid unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strangewives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerningthis thing.
3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all thewives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord,and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be doneaccording to the law.
4 Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee:be of good courage, and do it.
5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel,to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.
6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamberof Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat nobread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of themthat had been carried away.
7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all thechildren of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together untoJerusalem;
8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to thecounsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited,and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carriedaway.
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together untoJerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth dayof the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God,trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed,and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
11 Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, anddo his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, andfrom the strange wives.
12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thouhast said, so must we do.
13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are notable to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for weare many that have transgressed in this thing.
14 Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them whichhave taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and withthem the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fiercewrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employedabout this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
16 And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certainchief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of themby their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenthmonth to examine the matter.
17 And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives bythe first day of the first month.
18 And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strangewives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren;Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

John 4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvationis of the Jews.
Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,)how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husbandso long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from thelaw of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, sheshall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free fromthat law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to anotherman.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the bodyof Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raisedfrom the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by thelaw, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
1 Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth;but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom shewill; only in the Lord.

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are thetemple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walkin them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters,saith the Lord Almighty.
