A New Word

I'm always happy to learn a new word. This time it came from Nickelsburg and VanderKam's translation of 1 Enoch.

"And to Gabriel he said, 'Go, Gabriel, to the bastards, to the half-breeds, to the sons of miscegenation...'"

Miscegenation, if you didn't already know, is "a mixture of races; especially : marriage, cohabitation, or sexual intercourse between a white person and a member of another race" according to Mirriam Webster.

Your task: try to use this in a sentence today :)
