Exegesis
The parallel infinitives limaol {לִמְעֹל | lim-ʿōl} ‘to act unfaithfully’ and lehoshiv {לְהֹשִׁיב | le-hō-šîv} ‘to bring in’ link covenant breach to the entry of nashim {נָשִׁים | nā-shîm} ‘women’ modified by nokhriyot {נָכְרִיּוֹת | no-khri-yōt} ‘foreign’.
In context — Nehemiah 13:27
Is it to be heard of you that you are doing all this great evil by acting unfaithfully against our God by bringing in foreign women ?
