Ezra 10:1-5

1And while EzraH5830 prayedH6419, and made confession, weepingH1058 and fallingH5307 downH5307 before the houseH1004 of 1GodH430, there were gatheredH6908 to him out of IsraelH3478 a veryH3966 great congregation of menH376 and womenH802 and childrenH3206; for the peopleH5971 weptH1058 veryH3966 muchH7235.

2And Shechaniah the sonH1121 of JehielH3171, of the sonsH1121 of ElamH5867, answered and saidH559 to EzraH5830, We have actedH4603 unfaithfullyH4603 toward our 2GodH430, and have taken foreignH5237 wivesH802 of the peoplesH5971 of the landH776; yet nowH6258 there is hope for IsraelH3478 concerning this thing.

3And nowH6258 let us makeH6213 a covenantH1285 with our 3GodH430 to put away all the wivesH802, and such as are bornH3205 of them, according to the counselH6098 of [my] lordH113, and of those that tremble at the commandmentsH4687 of our 4GodH430; and let it be done according to the lawH8451.

4AriseH6965, for this matterH1697 is incumbent on thee, and we will be with thee: be of good courage, and do [it].

5Then EzraH5830 aroseH6965, and madeH6213 the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548, of the LevitesH3881, and of all IsraelH3478, to swearH7650 that they would do according to this wordH1697. And they sworeH7650.
