Ezra 9:1--10:44

Now when these things were done
<03615> (8763)_,

the princes
<08269>

came
<05066> (8738)

to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The people
<05971>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and the priests
<03548>_,

and the Levites
<03881>_,

have not separated
<0914> (8738)

themselves from the people
<05971>

of the lands
<0776>_,

[doing] according to their abominations
<08441>_,

[even] of the Canaanites
<03669>_,

the Hittites
<02850>_,

the Perizzites
<06522>_,

the Jebusites
<02983>_,

the Ammonites
<05984>_,

the Moabites
<04125>_,

the Egyptians
<04713>_,

and the Amorites
<0567>_.

For they have taken
<05375> (8804)

of their daughters
<01323>

for themselves, and for their sons
<01121>_:

so that the holy
<06944>

seed
<02233>

have mingled
<06148> (8694)

themselves with the people
<05971>

of [those] lands
<0776>_:

yea, the hand
<03027>

of the princes
<08269>

and rulers
<05461>

hath been chief
<07223>

in this trespass
<04604>_.

And when I heard
<08085> (8800)

this thing
<01697>_,

I rent
<07167> (8804)

my garment
<0899>

and my mantle
<04598>_,

and plucked off
<04803> (8799)

the hair
<08181>

of my head
<07218>

and of my beard
<02206>_,

and sat down
<03427> (8799)

astonied
<08074> (8789)_.

Then were assembled
<0622> (8735)

unto me every one that trembled
<02730>

at the words
<01697>

of the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

because of the transgression
<04604>

of those that had been carried away
<01473>_;

and I sat
<03427> (8802)

astonied
<08074> (8789)

until the evening
<06153>

sacrifice
<04503>_.

And at the evening
<06153>

sacrifice
<04503>

I arose up
<06965> (8804)

from my heaviness
<08589>_;

and having rent
<07167> (8800)

my garment
<0899>

and my mantle
<04598>_,

I fell
<03766> (8799)

upon my knees
<01290>_,

and spread out
<06566> (8799)

my hands
<03709>

unto the LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

{heaviness: or, affliction}

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

O my God
<0430>_,

I am ashamed
<0954> (8804)

and blush
<03637> (8738)

to lift up
<07311> (8687)

my face
<06440>

to thee, my God
<0430>_:

for our iniquities
<05771>

are increased
<07235> (8804)

over
<04605>

[our] head
<07218>_,

and our trespass
<0819>

is grown up
<01431> (8804)

unto the heavens
<08064>_.

{trespass: or, guiltiness}

Since the days
<03117>

of our fathers
<01>

[have] we [been] in a great
<01419>

trespass
<0819>

unto this day
<03117>_;

and for our iniquities
<05771>

have we, our kings
<04428>_,

[and] our priests
<03548>_,

been delivered
<05414> (8738)

into the hand
<03027>

of the kings
<04428>

of the lands
<0776>_,

to the sword
<02719>_,

to captivity
<07628>_,

and to a spoil
<0961>_,

and to confusion
<01322>

of face
<06440>_,

as [it is] this day
<03117>_.

And now for a little
<04592>

space
<07281>

grace
<08467>

hath been [shewed] from the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

to leave
<07604> (8687)

us a remnant to escape
<06413>_,

and to give
<05414> (8800)

us a nail
<03489>

in his holy
<06944>

place
<04725>_,

that our God
<0430>

may lighten
<0215> (8687)

our eyes
<05869>_,

and give
<05414> (8800)

us a little
<04592>

reviving
<04241>

in our bondage
<05659>_.

{space: Heb. moment} {a nail: or, a pin: that is, a constant and sure abode}

For we [were] bondmen
<05650>_;

yet our God
<0430>

hath not forsaken
<05800> (8804)

us in our bondage
<05659>_,

but hath extended
<05186> (8686)

mercy
<02617>

unto us in the sight
<06440>

of the kings
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

us a reviving
<04241>_,

to set up
<07311> (8788)

the house
<01004>

of our God
<0430>_,

and to repair
<05975> (8687)

the desolations
<02723>

thereof, and to give
<05414> (8800)

us a wall
<01447>

in Judah
<03063>

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{to repair: Heb. to set up}

And now, O our God
<0430>_,

what shall we say
<0559> (8799)

after
<0310>

this? for we have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

thy commandments
<04687>_,

Which thou hast commanded
<06680> (8765)

by
<03027>

thy servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The land
<0776>_,

unto which ye go
<0935> (8802)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

it, is an unclean
<05079>

land
<0776>

with the filthiness
<05079>

of the people
<05971>

of the lands
<0776>_,

with their abominations
<08441>_,

which have filled
<04390> (8765)

it from one end
<06310>

to another
<06310>

with their uncleanness
<02932>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of} {from...: Heb. from mouth to mouth}

Now therefore give
<05414> (8799)

not your daughters
<01323>

unto their sons
<01121>_,

neither take
<05375> (8799)

their daughters
<01323>

unto your sons
<01121>_,

nor seek
<01875> (8799)

their peace
<07965>

or their wealth
<02896>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_:

that ye may be strong
<02388> (8799)_,

and eat
<0398> (8804)

the good
<02898>

of the land
<0776>_,

and leave [it] for an inheritance
<03423> (8689)

to your children
<01121>

for ever
<05769>_.

And after
<0310>

all that is come
<0935> (8802)

upon us for our evil
<07451>

deeds
<04639>_,

and for our great
<01419>

trespass
<0819>_,

seeing that thou our God
<0430>

hast punished
<02820> (8804)

us less
<04295>

than our iniquities
<05771>

[deserve], and hast given
<05414> (8804)

us [such] deliverance
<06413>

as this; {hast punished...: Heb. hast withheld beneath our iniquities}

Should we again
<07725> (8799)

break
<06565> (8687)

thy commandments
<04687>_,

and join in affinity
<02859> (8692)

with the people
<05971>

of these abominations
<08441>_?

wouldest not thou be angry
<0599> (8799)

with us till thou hadst consumed
<03615> (8763)

[us], so that [there should be] no remnant
<07611>

nor escaping
<06413>_?

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

thou [art] righteous
<06662>_:

for we remain
<07604> (8738)

yet escaped
<06413>_,

as [it is] this day
<03117>_:

behold, we [are] before
<06440>

thee in our trespasses
<0819>_:

for we cannot stand
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

thee because of this.

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}

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.

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}

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].

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)_.

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>_.

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>_;

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}

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}

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}

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>_.

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)_.

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}

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}

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}

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>_.

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>_.

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

Maaseiah
<04641>_,

and Eliezer
<0461>_,

and Jarib
<03402>_,

and Gedaliah

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>_.
