Ezra 10:1-5

1Now when EzraH5830 had prayedH6419, and when he had confessedH3034, weepingH1058 and casting himself downH5307 beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of GodH430, there assembledH6908 unto him out of IsraelH3478 a veryH3966 greatH7227 congregationH6951 of menH582 and womenH802 and childrenH3206: for the peopleH5971 weptH1058 veryH7235 soreH1059.1

2And ShechaniahH7935 the sonH1121 of JehielH3171, one of the sonsH1121 of ElamH5867, answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto EzraH5830, We have trespassedH4603 against our GodH430, and have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776: yet now there isH3426 hopeH4723 in IsraelH3478 concerning this thing.

3Now therefore let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with our GodH430 to put awayH3318 all the wivesH802, and such as are bornH3205 of them, according to the counselH6098 of my lordH136, and of those that trembleH2730 at the commandmentH4687 of our GodH430; and let it be doneH6213 according to the lawH8451.2

4AriseH6965; for this matterH1697 belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courageH2388, and doH6213 it.

5Then aroseH6965 EzraH5830, and made the chiefH8269 priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881, and all IsraelH3478, to swearH7650 that they should doH6213 according to this wordH1697. And they swareH7650.
