11 H5414 Now therefore make [H8798] H8426 confession H3068 unto the LORD H430 God H1 of your fathers H6213 , and do [H8798] H7522 his pleasure H914 : and separate [H8734] H5971 yourselves from the people H776 of the land H5237 , and from the strange H802 wives.

12 H6951 Then all the congregation H6030 answered [H8799] H559 and said [H8799] H1419 with a loud H6963 voice H1697 , As thou hast said H6213 , so must we do [H8800] .

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 [H8800] H2351 without H4399 , neither is this a work H259 of one H3117 day H8147 or two H7235 : for we are many [H8689] H6586 that have transgressed [H8800] H1697 in this thing.

14 H8269 Let now our rulers H6951 of all the congregation H5975 stand [H8799] H3427 , and let all them which have taken [H8689] H5237 strange H802 wives H5892 in our cities H935 come [H8799] H2163 at appointed [H8794] H6256 times H2205 , and with them the elders H5892 of every city H8199 , and the judges [H8802] H2740 thereof, until the fierce H639 wrath H430 of our God H1697 for this matter H7725 be turned [H8687] from us.

15 H3129 Only Jonathan H1121 the son H6214 of Asahel H3167 and Jahaziah H1121 the son H8616 of Tikvah H5975 were employed [H8804] H4918 about this matter : and Meshullam H7678 and Shabbethai H3881 the Levite H5826 helped [H8804] them.

16 H1121 And the children H1473 of the captivity H6213 did so [H8799] H5830 . And Ezra H3548 the priest H582 , with certain H7218 chief H1 of the fathers H1004 , after the house H1 of their fathers H8034 , and all of them by their names H914 , were separated [H8735] H3427 , and sat down [H8799] H259 in the first H3117 day H6224 of the tenth H2320 month H1875 to examine [H8800] H1697 the matter.

17 H3615 And they made an end [H8762] H582 with all the men H3427 that had taken [H8689] H5237 strange H802 wives H259 by the first H3117 day H7223 of the first H2320 month.

18 H1121 And among the sons H3548 of the priests H4672 there were found [H8735] H3427 that had taken [H8689] H5237 strange H802 wives H1121 : namely, of the sons H3442 of Jeshua H1121 the son H3136 of Jozadak H251 , and his brethren H4641 ; Maaseiah H461 , and Eliezer H3402 , and Jarib H1436 , and Gedaliah.

19 H5414 And they gave [H8799] H3027 their hands H3318 that they would put away [H8687] H802 their wives H818 ; and being guilty H352 , they offered a ram H6629 of the flock H819 for their trespass.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ Now therefore make confession unto the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women. ¹² Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, as thou hast said concerning us, so must we do. ¹³ But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we have greatly transgressed in this matter. ¹⁴ Let now our princes be appointed for all the congregation, and let all them that are in our cities which have married strange women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter be despatched. ¹⁵ Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this [matter]: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. ¹⁶ And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, [with] certain heads of fathers’ [houses], after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were separated; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. ¹⁷ And they made an end with all the men that had married strange women by the first day of the first month. ¹⁸ And among the sons of the priests there were found that had married strange women: [namely], of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. ¹⁹ And they gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their guilt.
