Ezra 10:1-5

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.
