Nehemiah 13:23-27
In those days I also saw Jews who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or the language of one of the other peoples but could not speak Hebrew.I rebuked them, cursed them, beat some of their men, and pulled out their hair. I forced them to take an oath before God and said:“ You must not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters as wives for your sons or yourselves!Didn’t King Solomon of Israel sin in matters like this? There was not a king like him among many nations. He was loved by his God and God made him king over all Israel, yet foreign women drew him into sin.Why then should we hear about you doing all this terrible evil and acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?”

“ If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying,‘ Let us go and worship other gods’— which neither you nor your fathers have known,any of the gods of the peoples around you, near you or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other—you must not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity, and do not spare him or shield him.Instead, you must kill him. Your hand is to be the first against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.Stone him to death for trying to turn you away from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.

Genesis 6:4-5
The Nephilim were on the earth both in those days and afterward, when the sons of God came to the daughters of mankind, who bore children to them.
