Revised Version 1895
Ezra 10:11-19
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.
