Ezra 9:1
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.
KJV
Postquam autem hæc completa sunt, accesserunt ad me principes, dicentes : Non est separatus populus Israël, sacerdotes et Levitæ, a populis terrarum et abominationibus eorum : Chananæi videlicet, et Hethæi, et Pherezæi, et Jebusæi, et Ammonitarum, et Moabitarum, et Ægyptiorum, et Amorrhæorum :
Vulgate
Καὶ ὡς ἐτελέσθη ταῦτα, ἤγγισαν πρὸς μὲ οἱ ἄρχοντες λέγοντες Οὐκ ἐχωρίσθη ὁ λαὸς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται ἀπὸ λαῶν τῶν γαιῶν ἐν μακρύμμασιν αὐτῶν· τῷ Χανανεί, ὁ Ἑθεί, ὁ Φερεσθεί, ὁ Ἰεβουσεί, ὁ Ἀμμωνεί, ὁ Μωάβ, ὁ Μοσερεὶ καὶ ὁ Ἀμορεί·
LXX
Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples 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.
