 10:1 ¶ Now when Ezra 5830 had praised, 6419 z8692 and when he had confessed, 3034 z8692 weeping, 1058 z8802 and casting himselfe downe 5307 z8693 before 6440 the house 1004 of God, 430 there assembled 6908 z8738 vnto x413 him out of Israel, 3478 x4480 a very 3966 great 7227 congregation 6951 of men, y582 x376 and women, 802 and children: 3206 for x3588 the people 5971 wept 1058 z8804 very y7235 z8687 sore. 1059 x7235

 10:2 And Shechaniah 7935 the sonne 1121 of Iehiel, 3171 [one] of the sonnes 1121 x4480 of Elam, 5867 answered 6030 z8799 and said 559 z8799 vnto Ezra, 5830 Wee x587 haue trespassed 4603 z8804 against our God, 430 and haue taken 3427 z8686 strange 5237 wiues, 802 of the people 5971 x4480 of the land: 776 yet now x6258 there is 3426 hope 4723 in Israel 3478 concerning x5921 this x2063 thing.

 10:3 Now x6258 therefore let vs make 3772 z8799 a couenant 1285 with our God, 430 to put away 3318 z8687 all x3605 the wiues, 802 & such as are borne 3205 z8737 of x4480 them, according to the counsell 6098 of my lord, 136 and of those that tremble 2730 at the commandement 4687 of our God, 430 and lee it be done 6213 z8735 according to the Law. 8451

 10:4 Arise, 6965 z8798 for x3588 this matter 1697 [belongeth] vnto x5921 thee, wee x587 also [will be] with x5973 thee: be of good courage, 2388 z8798 and doe 6213 z8798 [it].

 10:5 Then arose 6965 z8799 Ezra, 5830 and made x853 the chiefe 8269 Priests, 3548 the Leuites, 3881 and all x3605 Israel 3478 to sweare, 7650 z8686 that they should doe 6213 z8800 according to this x2088 word: 1697 and they sware. 7650 z8735

 10:7 And they made Proclamation 5674 6963 z8686 throughout Iudah 3063 and Ierusalem, 3389 vnto all x3605 the children 1121 of the captiuitie, 1473 that they should gather themselues together 6908 z8736 vnto Ierusalem; 3389

 10:8 And that whosoeuer x3605 x834 would not x3808 come 935 z8799 within three 7969 dayes, 3117 according to the counsell 6098 of the Princes, 8269 and the Elders, 2205 all x3605 his substance 7399 should be forfeited, 2763 z8714 and himselfe x1931 separated 914 z8735 from the congregation 6951 x4480 of those that had beene caried away. 1473

 10:9 ¶ Then all x3605 the men y582 x376 of Iudah 3063 and Beniamin, 1144 gathered themselues together 6908 z8735 vnto Ierusalem, 3389 within three 7969 dayes: 3117 it x1931 [was] the ninth 8671 moneth, 2320 on the twentieth 6242 [day] of the moneth, 2320 and all x3605 the people 5971 sate 3427 z8799 in the streete 7339 of the house 1004 of God, 430 trembling 7460 z8688 because x5921 of [this] matter, 1697 and for the great raine. 1653 x4480

 10:10 And Ezra 5830 the Priest 3548 stood vp, 6965 z8799 and said 559 z8799 vnto x413 them, Yee x859 haue transgressed, 4603 z8804 and haue taken 3427 z8686 strange 5237 wiues, 802 to encrease 3254 z8687 x5921 the trespasse 819 of Israel. 3478

 10:11 Now x6258 therefore make 5414 z8798 confession 8426 vnto the LORD 3068 God 430 of your fathers, 1 and doe 6213 z8798 his pleasure: 7522 and separate y914 z8734 your selues x914 from the people 5971 x4480 of the land, 776 and from x4480 the strange 5237 wiues. 802

 10:12 Then all x3605 the congregation 6951 answered, 6030 z8799 and said 559 z8799 with a loude 1419 voice, 6963 As thou hast said, 1697 x5921 so x3651 must we doe: 6213 z8800

 10:13 But 61 the people 5971 are many, 7227 and it [is] a time 6256 of much raine, 1653 and we are not x369 able 3581 to stand 5975 z8800 without; 2351 neither x3808 is this a worke 4399 of one 259 day 3117 or x3808 two: 8147 for x3588 wee are many 7235 z8689 that haue transgressed 6586 z8800 in this x2088 thing. 1697

 10:14 Let now x4994 our rulers 8269 of all x3605 the congregation 6951 stand, 5975 z8799 and let all x3605 them which x834 haue taken 3427 z8689 strange 5237 wiues 802 in our cities, 5892 come 935 z8799 at appointed 2163 z8794 times, 6256 & with x5973 them the Elders 2205 of euery citie, 5892 and the Iudges 8199 z8802 thereof; vntill x5704 the fierce 2740 wrath 639 of our God 430 for x5704 this x2088 matter, 1697 be turned 7725 z8687 from x4480 vs.
