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.
Después de que estas cosas fueron terminadas, los líderes vinieron a mí y dijeron: 'El pueblo de Israel, incluyendo los sacerdotes y levitas, no se han mantenido separados de las naciones de alrededor. Están siguiendo las prácticas detestables de los cananeos, hititas, ferezeos, jebuseos, amonitas, moabitas, egipcios y amorreos.'
Los líderes reportaron a Esdras que el pueblo de Israel se había mezclado con las naciones paganas y adoptado sus prácticas detestables.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Ezra was a priest and scribe who led a group of Jewish exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon around 458 BC, during the Persian Empire's rule. The people, including priests and Levites, were expected to separate from the surrounding nations to avoid adopting their idolatrous practices, as this was seen as a direct violation of God's commands in the Law of Moses. This incident reflects the ongoing struggle for the returned exiles to rebuild their community with spiritual purity amid cultural pressures from groups like the Canaanites and others mentioned.
