hielten sich zu ihren Brüdern, den Mächtigen, und kamen, daß sie schwuren und sich mit einem Eide verpflichteten, zu wandeln im Gesetz Gottes, das durch Mose, den Knecht Gottes, gegeben ist, daß sie es hielten und tun wollten nach allen Geboten, Rechten und Sitten des HERRN, unsers Herrschers;
Y que no daríamos nuestras hijas a los pueblos de la tierra, ni tomaríamos sus hijas para nuestros hijos.
Nous promîmes de ne pas donner nos filles aux peuples du pays et de ne pas prendre leurs filles pour nos fils;
E che noi non daremmo le nostre figliuole a’ popoli del paese, e che non prenderemmo le lor figliuole per li nostri figliuoli;
E que não daríamos as nossas filhas aos povos da terra, nem tomaríamos as filhas deles para os nossos filhos.
我們不把我們的女兒嫁給這地的居民,也不為我們的兒子娶他們的女兒。
