V.1 Now when Ezra 5830 had prayed, 6419-99 and when he had confessed, 3034-99 weeping 1058-6 and casting himself down 5307-102 before 6440 the house 1004 of God, 430 there assembled 6908-8 unto him out of Israel 3478 a very 3966 great 7227 congregation 6951 of men 582 and women 802 and children: 3206 for the people 5971 wept 1058-1 very 7235-53 sore. 1059

10:2 And Shechaniah 7935 the son 1121 of Jehiel, 3171 [one] of the sons 1121 of Elam, 5867 answered 6030-4 and said 559-4 unto Ezra, 5830 We have trespassed 4603-1 against our God, 430 and have taken 3427-55 strange 5237 wives 802 of the people 5971 of the land: 776 yet now there is 3426 hope 4723 in Israel 3478 concerning this thing.

10:3 Now therefore let us make 3772-4 a covenant 1285 with our God 430 to put away 3318-53 all the wives, 802 and such as are born 3205-12 of 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 6213-11 according to the law. 8451

10:4 Arise; 6965-3 for [this] matter 1697 [belongeth] unto thee: we also [will be] with thee: be of good courage, 2388-3 and do 6213-3 [it].

10:5 Then arose 6965-4 Ezra, 5830 and made the chief 8269 priests, 3548 the Levites, 3881 and all Israel, 3478 to swear 7650-55 that they should do 6213-2 according to this word. 1697 And they sware. 7650-11

10:6 Then Ezra 5830 rose up 6965-4 from before 6440 the house 1004 of God, 430 and went 3212-4 into the chamber 3957 of Johanan 3076 the son 1121 of Eliashib: 475 and [when] he came 3212-4 thither, he did eat 398-1 no bread, 3899 nor drink 8354-1 water: 4325 for he mourned 56-102 because of the transgression 4604 of them that had been carried away. 1473

10:7 And they made proclamation 5674-55 6963 throughout Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389 unto all the children 1121 of the captivity, 1473 that they should gather themselves together 6908-9 unto Jerusalem; 3389

10:8 And that whosoever would not come 935-4 within three 7969 days, 3117 according to the counsel 6098 of the princes 8269 and the elders, 2205 all his substance 7399 should be forfeited, 2763-93 and himself separated 914-11 from the congregation 6951 of those that had been carried away. 1473

10:9 Then all the men 582 of Judah 3063 and Benjamin 1144 gathered themselves together 6908-11 unto Jerusalem 3389 within three 7969 days. 3117 It [was] the ninth 8671 month, 2320 on the twentieth 6242 [day] of the month; 2320 and all the people 5971 sat 3427-4 in the street 7339 of the house 1004 of God, 430 trembling 7460-56 because of [this] matter, 1697 and for the great rain. 1653

10:10 And Ezra 5830 the priest 3548 stood up, 6965-4 and said 559-4 unto them, Ye have transgressed, 4603-1 and have taken 3427-55 strange 5237 wives, 802 to increase 3254-53 the trespass 819 of Israel. 3478

10:11 Now therefore make 5414-3 confession 8426 unto the LORD 3068 God 430 of your fathers, 1 and do 6213-3 his pleasure: 7522 and separate 914-10 yourselves from the people 5971 of the land, 776 and from the strange 5237 wives. 802

10:12 Then all the congregation 6951 answered 6030-4 and said 559-4 with a loud 1419 voice, 6963 As thou hast said, 1697 so must we do. 6213-2

10:13 But 61 the people 5971 [are] many, 7227 and [it is] a time 6256 of much rain, 1653 and we are not able 3581 to stand 5975-2 without, 2351 neither [is this] a work 4399 of one 259 day 3117 or two: 8147 for we are many 7235-52 that have transgressed 6586-2 in this thing. 1697

10:14 Let now our rulers 8269 of all the congregation 6951 stand, 5975-4 and let all them which have taken 3427-52 strange 5237 wives 802 in our cities 5892 come 935-4 at appointed 2163-30 times, 6256 and with them the elders 2205 of every city, 5892 5892 and the judges 8199-6 thereof, until the fierce 2740 wrath 639 of our God 430 for this matter 1697 be turned 7725-53 from us.

10:15 Only Jonathan 3129 the son 1121 of Asahel 6214 and Jahaziah 3167 the son 1121 of Tikvah 8616 were employed 5975- 1 about this [matter]: and Meshullam 4918 and Shabbethai 7678 the Levite 3881 helped 5826-1 them.

10:16 And the children 1121 of the captivity 1473 did 6213-4 so. And Ezra 5830 the priest, 3548 [with] certain 582 chief 7218 of the fathers, 1 after the house 1004 of their fathers, 1 and all of them by [their] names, 8034 were separated, 914- 11 and sat down 3427-4 in the first 259 day 3117 of the tenth 6224 month 2320 to examine 1875-2 the matter. 1697

10:17 And they made an end 3615-17 with all the men 582 that had taken 3427-52 strange 5237 wives 802 by the first 259 day 3117 of the first 7223 month. 2320

10:18 And among the sons 1121 of the priests 3548 there were found 4672-11 that had taken 3427-52 strange 5237 wives: 802 [namely], of the sons 1121 of Jeshua 3442 the son 1121 of Jozadak, 3136 and his brethren; 251 Maaseiah, 4641 and Eliezer, 461 and Jarib, 3402 and Gedaliah. 1436

10:19 And they gave 5414-4 their hands 3027 that they would put away 3318-53 their wives; 802 and [being] guilty, 818 [they offered] a ram 352 of the flock 6629 for their trespass. 819
