| 10:1 | Now when Ezra <05830> had prayed <06419> (8692), and when he had confessed <03034> (8692), weeping <01058> (8802) and casting himself down <05307> (8693) before <06440> the house <01004> of God <0430>, there assembled <06908> (8738) unto him out of Israel <03478> a very <03966> great <07227> congregation <06951> of men <0582> and women <0802> and children <03206>: for the people <05971> wept <01058> (8804) very <07235> (8687) sore <01059>. {wept...: Heb. wept a great weeping} |
| 10:2 | And Shechaniah <07935> the son <01121> of Jehiel <03171>, [one] of the sons <01121> of Elam <05867>, answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto Ezra <05830>, We have trespassed <04603> (8804) against our God <0430>, and have taken <03427> (8686) strange <05237> wives <0802> of the people <05971> of the land <0776>: yet now there is <03426> hope <04723> in Israel <03478> concerning this thing. |
| 10:3 | Now therefore let us make <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> with our God <0430> to put away <03318> (8687) all the wives <0802>, and such as are born <03205> (8737) of them, according to the counsel <06098> of my lord <0136>, and of those that tremble <02730> at the commandment <04687> of our God <0430>; and let it be done <06213> (8735) according to the law <08451>. {to put...: Heb. to bring forth} |
| 10:4 | Arise <06965> (8798); for [this] matter <01697> [belongeth] unto thee: we also [will be] with thee: be of good courage <02388> (8798), and do <06213> (8798) [it]. |
| 10:5 | Then arose <06965> (8799) Ezra <05830>, and made the chief <08269> priests <03548>, the Levites <03881>, and all Israel <03478>, to swear <07650> (8686) that they should do <06213> (8800) according to this word <01697>. And they sware <07650> (8735). |
| 10:6 | Then Ezra <05830> rose up <06965> (8799) from before <06440> the house <01004> of God <0430>, and went <03212> (8799) into the chamber <03957> of Johanan <03076> the son <01121> of Eliashib <0475>: and [when] he came <03212> (8799) thither, he did eat <0398> (8804) no bread <03899>, nor drink <08354> (8804) water <04325>: for he mourned <056> (8693) because of the transgression <04604> of them that had been carried away <01473>. |
| 10:7 | And they made proclamation <05674> (8686) <06963> throughout Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389> unto all the children <01121> of the captivity <01473>, that they should gather themselves together <06908> (8736) unto Jerusalem <03389>; |
| 10:8 | And that whosoever would not come <0935> (8799) within three <07969> days <03117>, according to the counsel <06098> of the princes <08269> and the elders <02205>, all his substance <07399> should be forfeited <02763> (8714), and himself separated <0914> (8735) from the congregation <06951> of those that had been carried away <01473>. {forfeited: Heb. devoted} |
| 10:9 | Then all the men <0582> of Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144> gathered themselves together <06908> (8735) unto Jerusalem <03389> within three <07969> days <03117>. It [was] the ninth <08671> month <02320>, on the twentieth <06242> [day] of the month <02320>; and all the people <05971> sat <03427> (8799) in the street <07339> of the house <01004> of God <0430>, trembling <07460> (8688) because of [this] matter <01697>, and for the great rain <01653>. {the great...: Heb. the showers} |
| 10:10 | And Ezra <05830> the priest <03548> stood up <06965> (8799), and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye have transgressed <04603> (8804), and have taken <03427> (8686) strange <05237> wives <0802>, to increase <03254> (8687) the trespass <0819> of Israel <03478>. {have taken: Heb. have caused to dwell, or, have brought back} |
| 10:11 | Now therefore make <05414> (8798) confession <08426> unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01>, and do <06213> (8798) his pleasure <07522>: and separate <0914> (8734) yourselves from the people <05971> of the land <0776>, and from the strange <05237> wives <0802>. |
| 10:12 | Then all the congregation <06951> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) with a loud <01419> voice <06963>, As thou hast said <01697>, so must we do <06213> (8800). |
| 10:13 | But <061> the people <05971> [are] many <07227>, and [it is] a time <06256> of much rain <01653>, and we are not able <03581> to stand <05975> (8800) without <02351>, neither [is this] a work <04399> of one <0259> day <03117> or two <08147>: for we are many <07235> (8689) that have transgressed <06586> (8800) in this thing <01697>. {we are many...: or, we have greatly offended in this thing} |
| 10:14 | Let now our rulers <08269> of all the congregation <06951> stand <05975> (8799), and let all them which have taken <03427> (8689) strange <05237> wives <0802> in our cities <05892> come <0935> (8799) at appointed <02163> (8794) times <06256>, and with them the elders <02205> of every city <05892>, and the judges <08199> (8802) thereof, until the fierce <02740> wrath <0639> of our God <0430> for this matter <01697> be turned <07725> (8687) from us. {for this...: or, till this matter be dispatched} |
| 10:15 | Only Jonathan <03129> the son <01121> of Asahel <06214> and Jahaziah <03167> the son <01121> of Tikvah <08616> were employed <05975> (8804) about this [matter]: and Meshullam <04918> and Shabbethai <07678> the Levite <03881> helped <05826> (8804) them. {were...: Heb. stood} |
| 10:16 | And the children <01121> of the captivity <01473> did so <06213> (8799). And Ezra <05830> the priest <03548>, [with] certain <0582> chief <07218> of the fathers <01>, after the house <01004> of their fathers <01>, and all of them by [their] names <08034>, were separated <0914> (8735), and sat down <03427> (8799) in the first <0259> day <03117> of the tenth <06224> month <02320> to examine <01875> (8800) the matter <01697>. |
| 10:17 | And they made an end <03615> (8762) with all the men <0582> that had taken <03427> (8689) strange <05237> wives <0802> by the first <0259> day <03117> of the first <07223> month <02320>. |
| 10:18 | And among the sons <01121> of the priests <03548> there were found <04672> (8735) that had taken <03427> (8689) strange <05237> wives <0802>: [namely], of the sons <01121> of Jeshua <03442> the son <01121> of Jozadak <03136>, and his brethren <0251>; Maaseiah <04641>, and Eliezer <0461>, and Jarib <03402>, and Gedaliah <01436>. |
| 10:19 | And they gave <05414> (8799) their hands <03027> that they would put away <03318> (8687) their wives <0802>; and [being] guilty <0818>, [they offered] a ram <0352> of the flock <06629> for their trespass <0819>. |
