Ezra 10:8-14

8And that whosoever would not comeH935 within threeH7969 daysH3117, according to the counselH6098 of the princesH8269 and the eldersH2205, all his substanceH7399 should be forfeitedH2763, and himself separatedH914 from the congregationH6951 of those that had been carried awayH1473.1

9Then all the menH582 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 gathered themselves togetherH6908 unto JerusalemH3389 within threeH7969 daysH3117. It was the ninthH8671 monthH2320, on the twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320; and all the peopleH5971 satH3427 in the streetH7339 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, tremblingH7460 because of this matterH1697, and for the great rainH1653.2 10And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 stood upH6965, and saidH559 unto them, Ye have transgressedH4603, and have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802, to increaseH3254 the trespassH819 of IsraelH3478.3 11Now therefore makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto YhwhH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and doH6213 his pleasureH7522: and separateH914 yourselves from the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and from the strangeH5237 wivesH802. 12Then all the congregationH6951 answeredH6030 and saidH559 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, As thou hast saidH1697, so must we doH6213. 13ButH61 the peopleH5971 are manyH7227, and it is a timeH6256 of much rainH1653, and we are not ableH3581 to standH5975 withoutH2351, neither is this a workH4399 of oneH259 dayH3117 or twoH8147: for we are manyH7235 that have transgressedH6586 in this thingH1697.4 14Let now our rulersH8269 of all the congregationH6951 standH5975, and let all them which have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 in our citiesH5892 comeH935 at appointedH2163 timesH6256, and with them the eldersH2205 of every cityH5892, and the judgesH8199 thereof, until the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of our GodH430 for this matterH1697 be turnedH7725 from us.5
