Ezra 10:11-19

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
<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>_.
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>_.
