Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

这事做完了，众首领来见我，说，以色列民和祭司并利未人，没有离绝迦南人，赫人，比利洗人，耶布斯人，亚扪人，摩押人，埃及人，亚摩利人，仍效法这些国的民，行可憎的事。
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.

我们的神阿，既是如此，我们还有什么话可说呢。因为我们已经离弃你的命令，
And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
就是你藉你仆人众先知所吩咐的说，你们要去得为业之地是污秽之地。因列国之民的污秽和可憎的事，叫全地从这边直到那边满了污秽。
Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
神阿，我们因自己的恶行和大罪，遭遇了这一切的事，并且你刑罚我们轻于我们罪所当得的，又给我们留下这些人。
And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;
我们岂可再违背你的命令，与这行可憎之事的民结亲呢。若这样行，你岂不向我们发怒，将我们灭绝，以致没有一个剩下逃脱的人吗。
Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
