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.
