And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.
Sus hijos hablaban la mitad en el idioma de Asdod, y no podían hablar hebreo correctamente, sino que hablaban en el idioma del pueblo de donde venían sus madres.
Los hijos de matrimonios mixtos estaban perdiendo su identidad hebrea al no poder hablar correctamente el idioma de su pueblo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of Nehemiah, the Jewish people had returned from exile in Babylon and were striving to rebuild Jerusalem while reestablishing their religious and cultural identity. Nehemiah discovered that intermarriages with foreigners, such as those from Ashdod, had led to children speaking a mix of languages, including the local dialects, rather than pure Hebrew, which he saw as a threat to the preservation of Jewish laws and traditions. This issue highlighted the broader challenge of maintaining distinctiveness in a diverse and influential surrounding world.
