Ezra 10

1 Shechaniah encourageth Ezra to reform the strange marriages. 6 Ezra mourning assembleth the people. 9 The people, at the exhortation of Ezra, repent, and promise ammendment. 15 The care to perform it. 18 The names of them which had married strange wives.

 10:1 ¶ Now when Ezra 5830 had prayed, 6419 z8692 and when he had confessed, 3034 z8692 weeping 1058 z8802 and casting himself down 5307 z8693 before 6440 the house 1004 of God, 430 there assembled 6908 z8738 unto 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 son 1121 of Jehiel, 3171 [one] of the sons 1121 x4480 of Elam, 5867 answered 6030 z8799 and said 559 z8799 unto Ezra, 5830 We x587 have trespassed 4603 z8804 against our God, 430 and have taken 3427 z8686 strange 5237 wives 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 us make 3772 z8799 a covenant 1285 with our God 430 to put away 3318 z8687 all x3605 the wives, 802 and such as are born 3205 z8737 of x4480 them, according to the counsel 6098 of my lord, 136 and of those that tremble 2730 at the commandment 4687 of our God; 430 and let it be done 6213 z8735 according to the law. 8451

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

 10:5 Then arose 6965 z8799 Ezra, 5830 and made x853 the chief 8269 priests, 3548 the Levites, 3881 and all x3605 Israel, 3478 to swear 7650 z8686 that they should do 6213 z8800 according to this x2088 word. 1697 And they sware. 7650 z8735

 10:6 ¶ Then Ezra 5830 rose up 6965 z8799 from before 6440 x4480 the house 1004 of God, 430 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 into x413 the chamber 3957 of Johanan 3076 the son 1121 of Eliashib: 475 and [when] he came y3212 z8799 x1980 thither, x8033 he did eat 398 z8804 no x3808 bread, 3899 nor x3808 drink 8354 z8804 water: 4325 for x3588 he mourned 56 z8693 because x5921 of the transgression 4604 of them that had been carried away. 1473

 10:7 And they made proclamation 5674 6963 z8686 throughout Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389 unto all x3605 the children 1121 of the captivity, 1473 that they should gather themselves together 6908 z8736 unto Jerusalem; 3389

 10:8 And that whosoever x3605 x834 would not x3808 come 935 z8799 within three 7969 days, 3117 according to the counsel 6098 of the princes 8269 and the elders, 2205 all x3605 his substance 7399 should be forfeited, 2763 z8714 and himself x1931 separated 914 z8735 from the congregation 6951 x4480 of those that had been carried away. 1473

 10:9 ¶ Then all x3605 the men y582 x376 of Judah 3063 and Benjamin 1144 gathered themselves together 6908 z8735 unto Jerusalem 3389 within three 7969 days. 3117 It x1931 [was] the ninth 8671 month, 2320 on the twentieth 6242 [day] of the month; 2320 and all x3605 the people 5971 sat 3427 z8799 in the street 7339 of the house 1004 of God, 430 trembling 7460 z8688 because x5921 of [this] matter, 1697 and for the great rain. 1653 x4480

 10:10 And Ezra 5830 the priest 3548 stood up, 6965 z8799 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Ye x859 have transgressed, 4603 z8804 and have taken 3427 z8686 strange 5237 wives, 802 to increase 3254 z8687 x5921 the trespass 819 of Israel. 3478

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

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

 10:13 But 61 the people 5971 [are] many, 7227 and [it is] a time 6256 of much rain, 1653 and we are not x369 able 3581 to stand 5975 z8800 without, 2351 neither x3808 [is this] a work 4399 of one 259 day 3117 or x3808 two: 8147 for x3588 we are many 7235 z8689 that have 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 have taken 3427 z8689 strange 5237 wives 802 in our cities 5892 come 935 z8799 at appointed 2163 z8794 times, 6256 and with x5973 them the elders 2205 of every city, 5892 and the judges 8199 z8802 thereof, until x5704 the fierce 2740 wrath 639 of our God 430 for x5704 this x2088 matter 1697 be turned 7725 z8687 from x4480 us.

 10:15 ¶ Only x389 Jonathan y3129 x3083 the son 1121 of Asahel 6214 and Jahaziah 3167 the son 1121 of Tikvah 8616 were employed 5975 z8804 about x5921 this x2063 [matter]: and Meshullam 4918 and Shabbethai 7678 the Levite 3881 helped 5826 z8804 them.

 10:16 And the children 1121 of the captivity 1473 did x6213 so. y6213 z8799 x3651 And Ezra 5830 the priest, 3548 [with] certain y582 x376 chief 7218 of the fathers, 1 after the house 1004 of their fathers, 1 and all x3605 of them by [their] names, 8034 were separated, 914 z8735 and sat down 3427 z8799 in the first 259 day 3117 of the tenth 6224 month 2320 to examine 1875 z8800 the matter. 1697

 10:17 And they made an end 3615 z8762 with all x3605 the men y582 x376 that had taken 3427 z8689 strange 5237 wives 802 by x5704 the first 259 day 3117 of the first 7223 month. 2320

 10:18 ¶ And among the sons 1121 x4480 of the priests 3548 there were found 4672 z8735 that x834 had taken 3427 z8689 strange 5237 wives: 802 [namely], of the sons 1121 x4480 of Jeshua 3442 the son 1121 of Jozadak, 3136 and his brethren; 251 Maaseiah, 4641 and Eliezer, 461 and Jarib, 3402 and Gedaliah. 1436
