Ezra 10

1NowH3588 whileH3588 EzraH5830 prayedH6419, and madeH6419 confessionH3034, weepingH1058 and casting himselfH6440 downH5307 beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of GodH430, there was gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 unto him outH6440 of IsraelH3478 a veryH3966 greatH3966 congregationH6951 of menH376 and womenH802 and childrenH3206: for the peopleH5971 weptH1058 veryH3966 sore. 2And ShecaniahH7935 the sonH1121 of JehielH3171, one of the sonsH1121 of ElamH5867, answeredH559 and saidH559 unto EzraH5830, WeH587 have trespassed againstH5921 our GodH430, and have marriedH802 strange womenH802 of the peoplesH5971 of the landH776: yet nowH6258 there is hope for IsraelH3478 concerning this thingH2063. 3NowH6258 therefore letH6258 usH6213 makeH6213 a covenantH1285 with our GodH430 to putH3318 awayH3318 allH3605 the wivesH802, and suchH3605 as are bornH3205 of them, according to the counselH6098 of my lordH113, and of thoseH3605 that tremble at the commandmentH4687 of our GodH430; and letH6258 it be doneH6213 according to the lawH8451. 4AriseH6965; for the matterH1697 belongeth unto thee, and weH587 are with thee: be of goodH6965 courageH2388, and doH6213 it. 5Then aroseH6965 EzraH5830, and madeH6213 the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881, and allH3605 IsraelH3478, to swearH7650 that they would doH6213 according to this wordH1697. SoH6213 they sware. 6Then EzraH5830 roseH6965 upH6965 from beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of GodH430, and wentH6965 intoH413 the chamberH3957 of JehohananH3076 the sonH1121 of EliashibH475: and when he cameH413 thither, he didH3808 eatH398 noH3808 breadH3899, norH3808 drinkH8354 waterH4325: for he mournedH56 becauseH3588 of the trespassH4604 of them of the captivity. 7And they madeH3605 proclamationH6963 throughoutH3605 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 unto allH3605 the childrenH1121 of the captivity, that they should gatherH6908 themselvesH6908 togetherH6908 unto JerusalemH3389; 8and that whosoever cameH935 notH3808 withinH935 threeH7969 daysH3117, according to the counselH6098 of the princesH8269 and the eldersH2205, allH3605 his substance should be forfeited, and himselfH1931 separatedH914 from the congregationH6951 of the captivity. 9Then allH3605 the menH376 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 gatheredH6908 themselvesH5921 togetherH6908 unto JerusalemH3389 withinH5921 the threeH7969 daysH3117; it was the ninthH8671 monthH2320, on the twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the monthH2320: and allH3605 the peopleH5971 satH3427 in the broad placeH1004 beforeH5921 the houseH1004 of GodH430, tremblingH7460 becauseH5921 of this matterH1697, and for the greatH430 rainH1653. 10And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 stoodH6965 upH6965, and saidH559 unto them, Ye have trespassed, and have marriedH802 strange womenH802, to increaseH3254 the guiltH819 of IsraelH3478. 11NowH6258 therefore makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, and doH6213 his pleasureH7522: and separateH914 yourselves from the peoplesH5971 of the landH776, and from the strange womenH802. 12Then allH3605 the congregationH6951 answeredH559 and saidH559 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, as thou hast saidH559 concerning usH5921, soH3651 must weH3605 doH6213. 13But the peopleH5971 are manyH7227, and it is a time of muchH7235 rainH1653, and weH3588 are notH3808 able to standH5975 withoutH3808, neitherH3808 is this a workH4399 of one dayH3117 or twoH8147: for weH3588 have greatlyH7235 transgressedH6586 in this matterH1697. 14LetH4994 nowH4994 our princesH8269 be appointedH5975 for allH3605 the congregationH6951, and letH4994 allH3605 them that are in our citiesH5892 whichH834 have marriedH802 strange womenH802 comeH935 at appointedH5975 timesH6256, and with them the eldersH2205 of everyH3605 cityH5892, and the judgesH8199 thereof, untilH5704 the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of our GodH430 be turnedH7725 from usH4994, untilH5704 this matterH1697 be despatched. 15OnlyH389 JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AsahelH6214 and JahzeiahH3167 the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616 stoodH5975 upH5975 againstH5921 this matter: and MeshullamH4918 and ShabbethaiH7678 the LeviteH3881 helpedH5826 them. 16And the childrenH1121 of the captivity didH6213 soH3651. And EzraH5830 the priestH3548, with certainH259 headsH7218 of fathers’H1 housesH1004, afterH3117 their fathers’H1 housesH1004, and allH3605 of them by their namesH8034, were separatedH914; and they satH3427 downH3427 in the firstH259 dayH3117 of the tenthH6224 monthH2320 to examine the matterH1697. 17And they madeH3605 an endH3615 with allH3605 the menH376 that had marriedH802 strange womenH802 by the firstH7223 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320. 18And among the sonsH1121 of the priestsH3548 there were foundH4672 that had marriedH802 strange womenH802: namely, of the sonsH1121 of JeshuaH3442, the sonH1121 of Jozadak, and his brethrenH251, MaaseiahH4641, and EliezerH461, and JaribH3402, and GedaliahH1436. 19And they gaveH5414 their handH3027 that they would putH5414 awayH3318 their wivesH802; and being guiltyH818, they offeredH5414 a ramH352 of the flockH6629 for their guiltH819. 20And of the sonsH1121 of ImmerH564; HananiH2607 and ZebadiahH2069. 21And of the sonsH1121 of HarimH2766; MaaseiahH4641, and ElijahH452, and ShemaiahH8098, and JehielH3171, and UzziahH5818. 22And of the sonsH1121 of PashhurH6583; ElioenaiH454, MaaseiahH4641, IshmaelH3458, NethanelH5417, JozabadH3107, and ElasahH501. 23And of the LevitesH3881; JozabadH3107, and ShimeiH8096, and KelaiahH7041 (the sameH1931 is KelitaH7042), PethahiahH6611, JudahH3063, and EliezerH461. 24And of the singersH7891; EliashibH475; and of the porters; ShallumH7967, and TelemH2928, and UriH221. 25And of IsraelH3478: of the sonsH1121 of ParoshH6551; RamiahH7422, and IzziahH3150, and MalchijahH4441, and MijaminH4326, and EleazarH499, and MalchijahH4441, and BenaiahH1141. 26And of the sonsH1121 of ElamH5867; MattaniahH4983, ZechariahH2148, and JehielH3171, and AbdiH5660, and JeremothH3406, and ElijahH452. 27And of the sonsH1121 of ZattuH2240; ElioenaiH454, EliashibH475, MattaniahH4983, and JeremothH3406, and ZabadH2066, and AzizaH5819. 28And of the sonsH1121 of BebaiH893; JehohananH3076, HananiahH2608, ZabbaiH2079, Athlai. 29And of the sonsH1121 of BaniH1137; MeshullamH4918, MalluchH4409, and AdaiahH5718, JashubH3437, and ShealH7594, JeremothH3406. 30And of the sonsH1121 of Pahath-moabH6355; AdnaH5733, and ChelalH3636, BenaiahH1141, MaaseiahH4641, MattaniahH4983, BezalelH1212, and BinnuiH1131, and ManassehH4519. 31And of the sonsH1121 of HarimH2766; EliezerH461, IsshijahH3449, MalchijahH4441, ShemaiahH8098, ShimeonH8095; 32BenjaminH1144, MalluchH4409, ShemariahH8114. 33Of the sonsH1121 of HashumH2828; MattenaiH4982, MattattahH4992, ZabadH2066, ElipheletH467, JeremaiH3413, ManassehH4519, ShimeiH8096. 34Of the sonsH1121 of BaniH1137; MaadaiH4572, AmramH6019, and UelH177; 35BenaiahH1141, BedeiahH912, CheluhiH3622; 36VaniahH2057, MeremothH4822, EliashibH475; 37MattaniahH4983, MattenaiH4982, and JaasuH3299; 38and Bani, and BinnuiH1131, ShimeiH8096; 39and ShelemiahH8018, and NathanH5416, and AdaiahH5718; 40MachnadebaiH4367, ShashaiH8343, SharaiH8298; 41AzarelH5832, and ShelemiahH8018, ShemariahH8114; 42ShallumH7967, AmariahH568, JosephH3130. 43Of the sonsH1121 of NeboH5015; JeielH3273, MattithiahH4993, ZabadH2066, ZebinaH2081, IddoH3035, and JoelH3100, BenaiahH1141. 44AllH3605 theseH428 had takenH5375 strange wivesH802: and someH428 of them had wivesH802 by whomH428 they had childrenH1121.
