Verse 24
24. The speech of Ashdod Supposed to have been an Indo-Germanic language.
Not speak… Jews’ language Hebrew, and none of them knowing to speak Jewish. The children would naturally speak the language of their mothers.
According to the language of each people Better, as margin, of people and people; that is, of this or that people to whichsoever the mother belonged. “From the circumstance that a portion of the children of these marriages were not able to speak the language of the Jews, but spoke the language of Ashdod, or of this or that nation from which their mothers were descended, we may conclude with tolerable certainty that these people dwelt neither in Jerusalem nor in the midst of the Jewish community, but on the borders of the nations to which their wives belonged.” Keil.
