Ezra 10:1-3

1Now 1while EzraH5830 was prayingH6419 and makingH3034 confessionH3034, weepingH1058 and prostratingH5307 himself 2beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of GodH430, a veryH3966 largeH7227 assemblyH6951, menH376, womenH802 and childrenH3206, gatheredH6908 to him from IsraelH3478; for the peopleH5971 weptH1058 bitterlyH7235H1059.

2ShecaniahH7935 the sonH1121 of JehielH3171, one of the sonsH1121 of ElamH5867, saidH559 to EzraH5830, “3We have beenH4603 unfaithfulH4603 to our GodH430 and have 4marriedH3427 foreignH5237 womenH802 from the peoplesH5971 of the landH776; yet nowH6258 thereH3426 is hopeH4723 for IsraelH3478 in spiteH5921 of thisH2088.

3So nowH6258 5let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with our GodH430 to putH3318 awayH3318 allH3605 the wivesH802 and 67their childrenH3205, according to the counselH6098 of 8my lordH136 and of 9those who trembleH2730 at the commandmentH4687 of our GodH430; and let it be doneH6213 10according to the lawH8451.
