10Then EzraH5830 the priestH3548 stoodH6965 upH6965 and saidH559 to them, “You have beenH4603 unfaithfulH4603 and have marriedH3427 foreignH5237 wivesH802, addingH3254 to the guiltH819 of IsraelH3478. 11NowH6258 therefore, 1makeH5414 confessionH8426 to the LordH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 and 2doH6213 His willH7522; and 3separateH914 yourselves from the peoplesH5971 of the landH776 and from the foreignH5237 wivesH802.” 12Then allH3605 the assemblyH6951 repliedH6030 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, “It is 4our dutyH5921 to doH6213 exactlyH3651 as you have saidH1697! 13HoweverH61, there are manyH7227 peopleH5971, it is the rainyH1653 seasonH6256, and we are not ableH3581 to standH5975 in the openH2351. NorH3808 can the taskH4399 be done in oneH259 or twoH8147 daysH3117, becauseH3588 we have doneH6586 a greatH7235 wrongH6586 in thisH2088 matterH1697. 14PleaseH4994 let our leadersH8269 5representH5975 allH3605 the assemblyH6951 and have allH3605 those in our citiesH5892 who have marriedH3427 foreignH5237 wivesH802 comeH935 at appointedH2163 timesH6256, togetherH5973 withH5973 the eldersH2205 and judgesH8199 of eachH5892 cityH5892, untilH5704 the 6fierceH2740 angerH639 of our GodH430 onH5704 accountH5704 ofH5704 thisH2088 matterH1697 is turnedH7725 awayH7725 from us.” 15OnlyH389 JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of AsahelH6214 and JahzeiahH3167 the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616 7opposedH5975H5921 thisH2088, with MeshullamH4918 and ShabbethaiH7678 the LeviteH3881 supportingH5826 them.

So they 9convenedH3427 on the firstH259 dayH3117 of the tenthH6224 monthH2320 to investigateH1875 the matterH1697. 17And they finishedH3615 investigating allH3605 the menH376 who had marriedH3427 foreignH5237 wivesH802 by the firstH259 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
