Ezra 10:10-19

10And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 stoodH6965 up, and saidH559 unto them, Ye have trespassed, and have married foreignH5237 womenH802, to increaseH3254 the guiltH819 of IsraelH3478. 11NowH6258 thereforeH6258 makeH5414 confession unto Jehovah, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, and do his pleasureH7522; and separateH914 yourselves from the peoplesH5971 of the landH776, and from the foreignH5237 womenH802. 12Then all the assemblyH6951 answered and saidH559 with a loud voiceH6963, As thou hast saidH559 concerning us, soH3651 must we do. 13But the peopleH5971 are manyH7227, and it is a timeH6256 of muchH7235 rainH1653, and we are not able to standH5975 without: neither is this a workH4399 of oneH259 dayH3117 or twoH8147; for we have greatlyH7235 transgressedH6586 in this matterH1697. 14Let now our princesH8269 be appointedH5975 for all the assemblyH6951, and let all them that are in our citiesH5892 that have married foreignH5237 womenH802 comeH935 at appointedH5975 timesH6256, and with them the eldersH2205 of every cityH5892, and the judgesH8199 thereof, until the fierce wrath of our GodH430 be turnedH7725 from us, until this matterH1697 be despatched. 15OnlyH389 JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AsahelH6214 and Jahzeiah the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616 stoodH5975 up against this matter: and MeshullamH4918 and ShabbethaiH7678 the LeviteH3881 helpedH5826 them.

16And the children of the captivity did soH3651. And EzraH5830 the priestH3548, with certain headsH7218 of fathers’H1 housesH1004, after their fathers’H1 housesH1004, and all of them by their namesH8034, were setH914 apartH914; and they satH3427 downH3427 in the first dayH3117 of the tenthH6224 monthH2320 to examine the matterH1697. 17And they made an endH3615 with all the menH376 that had married foreignH5237 womenH802 by the firstH7223 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320.

18And among the sonsH1121 of the priestsH3548 there were foundH4672 that had married foreignH5237 womenH802: namely, of the sonsH1121 of JeshuaH3442, the sonH1121 of Jozadak, and his brethren, MaaseiahH4641, and EliezerH461, and JaribH3402, and GedaliahH1436. 19And they gaveH5414 their handH3027 that they would putH5414 away their wivesH802; and being guiltyH818, they offered a ramH352 of the flockH6629 for their guiltH819.
