Sections marked generated are written from the data on this page rather than by a named author. Everything else — the lexicon entries, the cross references, the manuscript readings, the counts — is quoted from its source unchanged.
Context — Ezra's Call for Separationgenerated
Ezra 9:12 addresses the Israelites' need to avoid intermarriage with foreign peoples to preserve their identity and relationship with God. Ezra emphasizes that seeking peace and prosperity from these nations could lead them away from their covenant with God, which is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, as seen in Deuteronomy 7:3 and Joshua 23:12-13.

The Key Word — שְׁלֹמָ֛ם, she.lo.Mamgenerated
The Hebrew word שָׁלוֹם (shalom) means peace and encompasses a broader sense of completeness, wellness, and harmony. It is often used in the context of relationships, both human and divine, highlighting the importance of peace in community life.
In this verse, Ezra warns against seeking the שְׁלֹמָ֛ם of foreign peoples, implying that aligning with them could compromise the Israelites' well-being and spiritual integrity. The use of this term underscores the significance of maintaining peace within their own community rather than seeking it from outside influences.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is אַל, may not, which governs several clauses that express prohibitions and conditions. The structure emphasizes the series of commands and the consequences of disobedience.
The commands are presented in a jussive form, indicating a strong desire for the Israelites to adhere to these instructions. The order of the clauses highlights the importance of maintaining their identity and the connection between their actions and the blessings they will receive.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שְׁלֹמָ֛ם as αὐτῶν, which means 'of them.' This choice narrows the focus from a broader sense of peace to a more specific reference to the welfare of the foreign peoples, suggesting a different interpretation of the relationship between the Israelites and those nations.
This translation choice reflects the translators' understanding of the implications of seeking peace from foreign nations, emphasizing the potential dangers of such alliances.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ezra 9:12 instructs the Israelites not to intermarry with foreign peoples and not to seek their peace or prosperity. This is to ensure that they remain strong and can inherit the good things of the land, passing it down to their descendants forever.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Ezra is warning the Israelites against forming alliances with foreign nations that could lead them away from their covenant with God and compromise their identity.
Intermarriage is seen as a threat to the Israelites' cultural and religious identity, as it could lead to the adoption of foreign practices and beliefs.
The land represents God's promise to the Israelites, and maintaining their identity is crucial for receiving and inheriting the blessings associated with it.
This verse echoes themes found in other parts of the Old Testament, where God commands His people to remain separate from other nations to preserve their holiness and relationship with Him.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways can I ensure that my relationships reflect my values and beliefs?
- How can I support my community in maintaining its identity and integrity?
- What are some examples in my life where I have sought peace from outside influences?
- How can I better understand the importance of spiritual heritage in my own life?

Then, amidst the solemnities of the sacrifice, he uttered the prayer which he had been meditating. (6) And said, O my God.—The confession begins with “O my God;” but Ezra is the representative of the people, and it proceeds “O our God” (Ezra 9:10), without once returning to the first person. (7) Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass.—In these Common Prayers of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Daniel, the race of Israel is regarded as one, and national sins as one “great trespass.”…

so (co', although the Hebrew might be pointed cewe'; Assyrian Sib'u; Septuagint Segor, Soa; Manetho, Seuechos; Latin Sevechus; Herodotus (ii. 137 ff), Sabakon): In all probability the "Sabaeo" of Herodotus, the Shabaka, who founded the Ethiopian dynasty, the XXVth of Egyptian kings. His date is given as 715-707 BC (Flinders Petrie, History of Egypt, III, 281 ff), but we may suppose that before his accession to the throne he was entitled to be designated king, as being actually regent. To this So, Hoshea, king of Israel, made an appeal for assistance to enable him to throw off the yoke of the Assyrian Shalmaneser IV (2Ki 17:3). But Hoshea's submission to So brought him no advantage, for Shalmaneser came up throughout all the land and laid siege to Samaria. Not long after the fall of Samaria, So ventured upon an eastern campaign, and…
So
(Nubian, Sabako), an Ethiopian king who brought Egypt under his sway. He was bribed by Hoshea to help him against the Assyrian monarch Shalmaneser (2 Kings 17:4). This was a return to the policy that had been successful in the reign of Jeroboam I.
"So, king of Egypt," is once mentioned in the Bible -- (2 Kings 17:4) So has been identified by different writers with the first and second kings of the Ethiopian twenty-fifth dynasty, called by Manetho, Sabakon (Shebek) and Sebichos (Shebetek).
King of Egypt, made an alliance with Hoshea king of Israel, and promised him assistance; but was unable to prevent Shalmaneser king of Assyria from taking Samaria and subverting the kingdom, B. C. 721, 2Ki 17:4. See PHARAOH.
So is believed to have been the Servetus or Sabaco II of secular history, the second king of the Ethiopian or twenty-fifth dynasty, and the predecessor of Trihakah. A singular fact has been brought to light by the recent explorations at Nineveh, corroborating the Scripture record the more forcibly, because unexpected and direct. The Bible shows that Egypt and Assyria, though remote, were often in conflict during the height of the Assyrian ruins power, and that So was at war with Shalmaneser. After war comes the treaty of peace; and as the Bible prepares us to suppose such treaties were made, the Assyrian ruins…

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
