Ezra 10:1
|
|
Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping
and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together
unto him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for
the people wept very sore. |
|
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:2 |
|
And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the
sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God,
and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land: yet now there is hope
for Israel concerning this thing. |
| |
|
|
| Ezra 10:3 |
|
Now therefore let us make a covenant with our
God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the
counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and
let it be done according to the law. |
| |
|
|
| Ezra 10:4 |
|
Arise; for the matter belongeth unto thee, and
we are with thee: be of good courage, and do it. |
| |
|
|
| Ezra 10:5 |
|
Then arose Ezra, and made the chiefs of the
priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to
this word. So they sware. |
| |
|
|
| Ezra 10:6 |
|
Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God,
and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither,
he did eat no bread, nor drink water; for he mourned because of the trespass of
them of the captivity. |
| |
|
|
| Ezra 10:7 |
|
And they made proclamation throughout Judah
and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather
themselves together unto Jerusalem; |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:8 |
|
and that whosoever came not within three days,
according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should
be forfeited, and himself separated from the assembly of the captivity. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:9 |
|
Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered
themselves together unto Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month,
on the twentieth day of the month: and all the people sat in the broad place before
the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:10 |
|
And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto
them, Ye have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt
of Israel. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:11 |
|
Now therefore make confession unto Jehovah,
the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the
peoples of the land, and from the foreign women. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:12 |
|
Then all the assembly answered and said with
a loud voice, As thou hast said concerning us, so must we do. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:13 |
|
But the people are many, and it is a time of
much rain, and we are not able to stand without: neither is this a work of one
day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:14 |
|
Let now our princes be appointed for all the
assembly, and let all them that are in our cities that have married foreign women
come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges
thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter
be despatched. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:15 |
|
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah
the son of Tikvah stood up against this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the
Levite helped them. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:16 |
|
And the children of the captivity did so. And
Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers' houses, after their fathers' houses,
and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first
day of the tenth month to examine the matter. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:17 |
|
And they made an end with all the men that had
married foreign women by the first day of the first month. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:18 |
|
And among the sons of the priests there were
found that had married foreign women: namely, of the sons of Jeshua, the son of
Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. |
|
|
|
| Ezra 10:19 |
|
And they gave their hand that they would put
away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their
guilt. |
