Now when EzraH5830 had prayedH6419, and when he had confessedH3034, weepingH1058 and casting himself downH5307 beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of GodH430, there assembledH6908 unto him out of IsraelH3478 a veryH3966 greatH7227 congregationH6951 of menH582 and womenH802 and childrenH3206: for the peopleH5971 weptH1058 veryH7235 soreH1059. {wept…: Heb. wept a great weeping}
And ShechaniahH7935 the sonH1121 of JehielH3171, one of the sonsH1121 of ElamH5867, answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto EzraH5830, We have trespassedH4603 against our GodH430, and have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776: yet now there isH3426 hopeH4723 in IsraelH3478 concerning this thing.
Now therefore let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with our GodH430 to put awayH3318 all the wivesH802, and such as are bornH3205 of them, according to the counselH6098 of my lordH136, and of those that trembleH2730 at the commandmentH4687 of our GodH430; and let it be doneH6213 according to the lawH8451. {to put…: Heb. to bring forth}
AriseH6965; for this matterH1697 belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courageH2388, and doH6213 it.
Then aroseH6965 EzraH5830, and made the chiefH8269 priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881, and all IsraelH3478, to swearH7650 that they should doH6213 according to this wordH1697. And they swareH7650.
Then EzraH5830 rose upH6965 from beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of GodH430, and wentH3212 into the chamberH3957 of JohananH3076 the sonH1121 of EliashibH475: and when he cameH3212 thither, he did eatH398 no breadH3899, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325: for he mournedH56 because of the transgressionH4604 of them that had been carried awayH1473.
And they made proclamationH5674+H6963 throughout JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 unto all the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473, that they should gather themselves togetherH6908 unto JerusalemH3389;
And that whosoever would not comeH935 within threeH7969 daysH3117, according to the counselH6098 of the princesH8269 and the eldersH2205, all his substanceH7399 should be forfeitedH2763, and himself separatedH914 from the congregationH6951 of those that had been carried awayH1473. {forfeited: Heb. devoted}
Then all the menH582 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 gathered themselves togetherH6908 unto JerusalemH3389 within threeH7969 daysH3117. It was the ninthH8671 monthH2320, on the twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320; and all the peopleH5971 satH3427 in the streetH7339 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, tremblingH7460 because of this matterH1697, and for the great rainH1653. {the great…: Heb. the showers}
And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 stood upH6965, and saidH559 unto them, Ye have transgressedH4603, and have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802, to increaseH3254 the trespassH819 of IsraelH3478. {have taken: Heb. have caused to dwell, or, have brought back}
Now therefore makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and doH6213 his pleasureH7522: and separateH914 yourselves from the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and from the strangeH5237 wivesH802.
Then all the congregationH6951 answeredH6030 and saidH559 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, As thou hast saidH1697, so must we doH6213.
ButH61 the peopleH5971 are manyH7227, and it is a timeH6256 of much rainH1653, and we are not ableH3581 to standH5975 withoutH2351, neither is this a workH4399 of oneH259 dayH3117 or twoH8147: for we are manyH7235 that have transgressedH6586 in this thingH1697. {we are many…: or, we have greatly offended in this thing}
Let now our rulersH8269 of all the congregationH6951 standH5975, and let all them which have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 in our citiesH5892 comeH935 at appointedH2163 timesH6256, and with them the eldersH2205 of every cityH5892, and the judgesH8199 thereof, until the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of our GodH430 for this matterH1697 be turnedH7725 from us. {for this…: or, till this matter be dispatched}
Only JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AsahelH6214 and JahaziahH3167 the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616 were employedH5975 about this matter: and MeshullamH4918 and ShabbethaiH7678 the LeviteH3881 helpedH5826 them. {were…: Heb. stood}
And the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473 did soH6213. And EzraH5830 the priestH3548, with certainH582 chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, after the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, and all of them by their namesH8034, were separatedH914, and sat downH3427 in the firstH259 dayH3117 of the tenthH6224 monthH2320 to examineH1875 the matterH1697.
And they made an endH3615 with all the menH582 that had takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 by the firstH259 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
And among the sonsH1121 of the priestsH3548 there were foundH4672 that had takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802: namely, of the sonsH1121 of JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and his brethrenH251; MaaseiahH4641, and EliezerH461, and JaribH3402, and GedaliahH1436.
And they gaveH5414 their handsH3027 that they would put awayH3318 their wivesH802; and being guiltyH818, they offered a ramH352 of the flockH6629 for their trespassH819.
And of the sonsH1121 of ImmerH564; HananiH2607, and ZebadiahH2069.

That thou shouldest enterH5674 into covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and into his oathH423, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 makethH3772 with thee this dayH3117: {enter: Heb. pass}
Also in JudahH3063 the handH3027 of GodH430 was to giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269, by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Then were assembledH622 unto me every one that trembledH2730 at the wordsH1697 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, because of the transgressionH4604 of those that had been carried awayH1473; and I satH3427 astoniedH8074 until the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503.
And when the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall deliverH5414 them beforeH6440 thee; thou shalt smiteH5221 them, and utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them; thou shalt makeH3772 no covenantH1285 with them, nor shew mercyH2603 unto them:
And they foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 byH3027 MosesH4872, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 should dwellH3427 in boothsH5521 in the feastH2282 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320: {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And they wentH3212 to JoshuaH3091 unto the campH4264 at GilgalH1537, and saidH559 unto him, and to the menH376 of IsraelH3478, We be comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776: now therefore makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us.
GoH3212, enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for me, and for them that are leftH7604 in IsraelH3478 and in JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 that is foundH4672: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is poured outH5413 upon us, because our fathersH1 have not keptH8104 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 after all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
Neither shalt thou make marriagesH2859 with them; thy daughterH1323 thou shalt not giveH5414 unto his sonH1121, nor his daughterH1323 shalt thou takeH3947 unto thy sonH1121.
On that dayH3117 they readH7121 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872 in the audienceH241 of the peopleH5971; and therein was foundH4672 writtenH3789, that the AmmoniteH5984 and the MoabiteH4125 should not comeH935 into the congregationH6951 of GodH430 forH5704 everH5769; {they…: Heb. there was read} {audience: Heb. ears}
Because they metH6923 not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 with breadH3899 and with waterH4325, but hiredH7936 BalaamH1109 against them, that he should curseH7043 them: howbeit our GodH430 turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293.
Now it came to pass, when they had heardH8085 the lawH8451, that they separatedH914 from IsraelH3478 all the mixed multitudeH6154.
And JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 between the LORDH3068 and the kingH4428 and the peopleH5971, that they should be the LORD'SH3068 peopleH5971; between the kingH4428 also and the peopleH5971.
Because thine heartH3824 was tenderH7401, and thou didst humbleH3665 thyself beforeH6440 GodH430, when thou heardestH8085 his wordsH1697 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and humbledstH3665 thyself beforeH6440 me, and didst rendH7167 thy clothesH899, and weepH1058 beforeH6440 me; I have even heardH8085 thee also, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Else if ye do in any wiseH7725 go backH7725, and cleaveH1692 unto the remnantH3499 of these nationsH1471, even these that remainH7604 among you, and shall make marriagesH2859 with them, and go inH935 unto them, and they to you:
To the lawH8451 and to the testimonyH8584: if they speakH559 not according to this wordH1697, it is because there is no lightH7837 in them. {no…: Heb. no morning}
Now it is in mine heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierceH2740 wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from us.
KnowH3045 for a certaintyH3045 that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will no moreH3254 drive outH3423 any of these nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you; but they shall be snaresH6341 and trapsH4170 unto you, and scourgesH7850 in your sidesH6654, and thornsH6796 in your eyesH5869, until ye perishH6 from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
ButG1161 to the restG3062 speakG3004 IG1473, notG3756 the LordG2962: If anyG1536 brotherG80 hathG2192 a wifeG1135 that believeth notG571, andG2532 sheG846 be pleasedG4909 to dwellG3611 withG3326 himG846, let himG863 notG3361 putG863 herG846 awayG863.
And the kingH4428 stoodH5975 in his placeH5977, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his testimoniesH5715, and his statutesH2706, with all his heartH3824, and with all his soulH5315, to performH6213 the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 which are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
AndG2532 the womanG1135 whichG3748 hathG2192 an husbandG435 that believeth notG571, andG2532 if heG846 be pleasedG4909 to dwellG3611 withG3326 herG846, let herG863 notG3361 leaveG863 himG846.
And he caused all that were presentH4672 in JerusalemH3389 and BenjaminH1144 to standH5975 to it. And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 didH6213 according to the covenantH1285 of GodH430, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. {present: Heb. found}
For all those things hath mine handH3027 madeH6213, and all those things have been, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but to this man will I lookH5027, even to him that is poorH6041 and of a contriteH5223 spiritH7307, and tremblethH2730 at my wordH1697.
And because of all this we makeH3772 a sureH548 covenant, and writeH3789 it; and our princesH8269, LevitesH3881, and priestsH3548, sealH2856 unto it. {seal: Heb. are at the sealing, or, sealed}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Go throughH5674 the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, through the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389, and setH8427 a markH8420 upon the foreheadsH4696 of the menH582 that sighH584 and that cryH602 for all the abominationsH8441 that be doneH6213 in the midstH8432 thereof. {set a mark: Heb. mark a mark}
They claveH2388 to their brethrenH251, their noblesH117, and enteredH935 into a curseH423, and into an oathH7621, to walkH3212 in God'sH430 lawH8451, which was givenH5414 byH3027 MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, and to observeH8104 and doH6213 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 our LordH113, and his judgmentsH4941 and his statutesH2706; {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And that we would not giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 unto the peopleH5971 of the landH776, nor takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 for our sonsH1121:
And if the peopleH5971 of the landH776 bringH935 wareH4728 or any victualsH7668 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 to sellH4376, that we would not buyH3947 it of them on the sabbathH7676, or on the holyH6944 dayH3117: and that we would leaveH5203 the seventhH7637 yearH8141, and the exactionH4853 of every debtH3027. {every…: Heb. every hand}
Also we madeH5975 ordinancesH4687 for us, to chargeH5414 ourselves yearlyH8141 with the third partH7992 of a shekelH8255 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430;
For the shewbreadH4635+H3899, and for the continualH8548 meat offeringH4503, and for the continualH8548 burnt offeringH5930, of the sabbathsH7676, of the new moonsH2320, for the set feastsH4150, and for the holyH6944 things, and for the sin offeringsH2403 to make an atonementH3722 for IsraelH3478, and for all the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
And we castH5307 the lotsH1486 among the priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881, and the peopleH5971, for the woodH6086 offeringH7133, to bringH935 it into the houseH1004 of our GodH430, after the housesH1004 of our fathersH1, at timesH6256 appointedH2163 yearH8141 by yearH8141, to burnH1197 upon the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451:
And to bringH935 the firstfruitsH1061 of our groundH127, and the firstfruitsH1061 of all fruitH6529 of all treesH6086, yearH8141 by yearH8141, unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:
Also the firstbornH1060 of our sonsH1121, and of our cattleH929, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451, and the firstlingsH1062 of our herdsH1241 and of our flocksH6629, to bringH935 to the houseH1004 of our GodH430, unto the priestsH3548 that ministerH8334 in the houseH1004 of our GodH430:
And that we should bringH935 the firstfruitsH7225 of our doughH6182, and our offeringsH8641, and the fruitH6529 of all manner of treesH6086, of wineH8492 and of oilH3323, unto the priestsH3548, to the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430; and the tithesH4643 of our groundH127 unto the LevitesH3881, that the same LevitesH3881 might have the tithesH6237 in all the citiesH5892 of our tillageH5656.
And the priestH3548 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 shall be with the LevitesH3881, when the LevitesH3881 take tithesH6237: and the LevitesH3881 shall bring upH5927 the titheH4643 of the tithesH4643 unto the houseH1004 of our GodH430, to the chambersH3957, into the treasureH214 houseH1004.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 shall bringH935 the offeringH8641 of the cornH1715, of the new wineH8492, and the oilH3323, unto the chambersH3957, where are the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH4720, and the priestsH3548 that ministerH8334, and the portersH7778, and the singersH7891: and we will not forsakeH5800 the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
