Ezra 10:10-19

10And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 stood upH6965, and saidH559 to them, Ye have transgressedH4603, and have takenH3427 foreignH5237 wivesH802, to increaseH3254 the trespassH819 of IsraelH3478.1 11Now therefore makeH5414 confessionH8426 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and doH6213 his pleasureH7522: and separateH914 yourselves from the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and from the foreignH5237 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 abroadH2351, neither is this a workH4399 of oneH259 dayH3117 or twoH8147: for we are manyH7235 that have transgressedH6586 in this thingH1697.2 14Let now our rulersH8269 of all the congregationH6951 standH5975, and let all them who have takenH3427 foreignH5237 wivesH802 in our citiesH5892 comeH935 at appointedH2163 timesH6256, and with them the eldersH2205 of every cityH5892, and the judgesH8199, until the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of our GodH430 for this matterH1697 shall be turnedH7725 from us.3

15Only JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AsahelH6214 and JahaziahH3167 the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616 were employedH5975 about this matter : and MeshullamH4918 and ShabbethaiH7678 the LeviteH3881 helpedH5826 them.4 16And the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473 did soH6213. And EzraH5830 the priestH3548, with certainH582 headsH7218 of the fathersH1, after the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, and all of them by their namesH8034, were separatedH914, and sat downH3427 in the firstH259 dayH3117 of the tenthH6224 monthH2320 to examineH1875 the matterH1697. 17And they finishedH3615 with all the menH582 that had takenH3427 foreignH5237 wivesH802 by the firstH259 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320. 18And among the sonsH1121 of the priestsH3548 there were foundH4672 that had takenH3427 foreignH5237 wivesH802: namely, of the sonsH1121 of JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and his brethrenH251; MaaseiahH4641, and EliezerH461, and JaribH3402, and GedaliahH1436. 19And they gaveH5414 their handsH3027 that they would put awayH3318 their wivesH802; and being guiltyH818, they offered a ramH352 of the flockH6629 for their trespassH819.
