Ezra 8:22

Context
8:22 I was embarrassed to request soldiers and horsemen from the king to protect us from the enemy 1  along the way, because we had said to the king, “The good hand of our God is on everyone who is seeking him, but his great anger 2  is against everyone who forsakes him.”

Ezra 10:14

Context
10:14 Let our leaders take steps 3  on behalf of all the assembly. Let all those in our towns who have married foreign women come at an appointed time, and with them the elders of each town and its judges, until the hot anger of our God is turned away from us in this matter.”

1 tn A number of modern translations regard this as a collective singular and translate “from enemies” (also in v. 31).

2 tn Heb “his strength and his anger.” The expression is a hendiadys (one concept expressed through two terms).

3 tn Heb “stand.”
