Now while Ezra
H6419
prayed
H3034
and made confession,
H1058
weeping
H5307
and casting himself down
H6440
before
H1004
the house
H430
of God,
H6908
there was gathered
H3478
together to him out of Israel
H3966
a very
H7227
great
H6951
assembly
H582
of men
H802
and women
H3206
and children;
H582
for the people
H1058
wept
H7235
very
H1059
bitterly.
2
H7935
Shecaniah
H1121
the son
H3171
of Jehiel,
H1121
one of the sons
H5867
of Elam,
H6030
answered
H5830
Ezra,
H559
"We
H4603
have trespassed
H430
against our God,
H3427
and have married
H5237
foreign
H802
women
H5971
of the peoples
H776
of the land.
H3426
Yet now there is
H4723
hope
H3478
for Israel concerning this thing.
3
H3772
Now therefore let us make
H1285
a covenant
H430
with our God
H3318
to put away
H802
all the wives,
H3205
and such as are born
H6098
of them, according to the counsel
H136
of my lord,
H2730
and of those who tremble
H4687
at the commandment
H430
of our God.
H6213
Let it be done
H8451
according to the law.
4
H6965
Arise;
H1697
for the matter
H2388
belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous,
H6213
and do it."
5
H5830
Then Ezra
H6965
arose,
H8269
and made the chiefs
H3548
of the priests,
H3881
the Levites,
H3478
and all Israel,
H7650
to swear
H6213
that they would do
H1697
according to this word.
H7650
So they swore.
6
H5830
Then Ezra
H6965
rose up
H6440
from before
H1004
the house
H430
of God,
H3212
and went
H3957
into the room
H3076
of Jehohanan
H1121
the son
H475
of Eliashib:
H3212
and when he came
H398
there, he ate
H3899
no bread,
H8354
nor drank
H4325
water;
H56
for he mourned
H4604
because of their trespass
H1473
of the captivity.
7
H5674
They made proclamation
H3063
throughout Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem
H1121
to all the children
H1473
of the captivity,
H6908
that they should gather themselves together
H3389
to Jerusalem;
8
H935
and that whoever didn't come
H7969
within three
H3117
days,
H6098
according to the counsel
H8269
of the princes
H2205
and the elders,
H7399
all his substance
H2763
should be forfeited,
H914
and himself separated
H6951
from the assembly
H1473
of the captivity.
9
H582
Then all the men
H3063
of Judah
H1144
and Benjamin
H6908
gathered themselves together
H3389
to Jerusalem
H7969
within the three
H3117
days;
H8671
it was the ninth
H2320
month,
H6242
on the twentieth
H2320
day of the month:
H5971
and all the people
H3427
sat
H7339
in the broad
H1004
place before the house
H430
of God,
H7460
trembling
H1697
because of this matter,
H1653
and for the great rain.
10
H5830
Ezra
H3548
the priest
H6965
stood up,
H559
and said
H4603
to them, "You have trespassed,
H3427
and have married
H5237
foreign
H802
women,
H3254
to increase
H819
the guilt
H3478
of Israel.
11
H5414
Now therefore make
H8426
confession
H3068
to Yahweh,
H430
the God
H1
of your fathers,
H6213
and do
H7522
his pleasure;
H914
and separate
H5971
yourselves from the peoples
H776
of the land,
H5237
and from the foreign
H802
women."
12
H6951
Then all the assembly
H6030
answered
H559
with
H1419
a loud
H6963
voice,
H559
"As you have said
H6213
concerning us, so must we do.
13
H61
But
H5971
the people
H7227
are many,
H6256
and it is a time
H1653
of much rain,
H3581
and we are not able
H5975
to stand
H2351
outside;
H4399
neither is this a work
H259
of one
H3117
day
H8147
or two;
H7235
for we
H6586
have greatly transgressed
H1697
in this matter.
14
H8269
Let now our princes
H5975
be appointed
H6951
for all the assembly,
H5892
and let all those who are in our cities
H3427
who have married
H5237
foreign
H802
women
H935
come
H2163
at appointed
H6256
times,
H2205
and with them the elders
H5892
of every city,
H8199
and its judges,
H2740
until the fierce
H639
wrath
H430
of our God
H7725
be turned
H1697
from us, until this matter is resolved."
15
H3129
Only Jonathan
H1121
the son
H6214
of Asahel
H3167
and Jahzeiah
H1121
the son
H8616
of Tikvah
H5975
stood
H4918
up against this; and Meshullam
H7678
and Shabbethai
H3881
the Levite
H5826
helped them.
16
H1121
The children
H1473
of the captivity
H6213
did so.
H5830
Ezra
H3548
the priest,
H582
with certain
H7218
heads
H1
of fathers'
H1
households, after their fathers'
H1004
houses,
H8034
and all of them by their names,
H914
were set apart;
H3427
and they sat down
H259
in the first
H3117
day
H6224
of the tenth
H2320
month
H1875
to examine
H1697
the matter.
17
H3615
They made an end
H582
with all the men
H3427
who had married
H5237
foreign
H802
women
H259
by the first
H3117
day
H259
of the first
H2320
month.
18
H1121

19
H5414
They gave
H3027
their hand
H3318
that they would put away

their wives;
