RF EZR 10:1 The People Promise to Reform.
And when Ezra was praying, and confessed himself in tears, and had flung himself down before the House of God, a very great crowd of men, women, and children from all Israel collected to him;—and they wept with much weeping.
RF EZR 10:2 And Shekaniah-ben-Jekhial, one of the sons of Aulam, addressed, and said to Ezra;—
"We have done wrong to our God, when we turned to marry women from the Peoples of the country; yet there is hope for Israel over this.
RF EZR 10:3 So now let us make an agreement with our God to expel all the women and the children born of them, according to the advice of my Lord, and of those who tremble at the commands of our God! But let it be done according to law.
RF EZR 10:4 Arise for the affair is yours,—and we will support you in its execution."
RF EZR 10:5 Ezra consequently arose and swore the Chief Priests, and Levites, and all Israel to do according to this proposal;—And they swore it.
RF EZR 10:6 (B.C. 456.) A Public Meeting Called to Decide how.
Then Ezra arose from before the House of God, and went to the residence of Jhokhanan-ben-Alishib where he lodged. He ate neither bread nor drank water, for he was grieved at the great wrong.
RF EZR 10:7 But they made a proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem, to all the sons of the Transportation, to assemble at Jerusalem;
RF EZR 10:8 and that every one who did not come at the third day, as advised by the Chiefs, and Judges, all his property should be forfeited, and himself excluded from the Great Assembly.
RF EZR 10:9 The whole of the Officers of Judah and Benjamin therefore collected at Jerusalem on the third day, which was the twentieth of the ninth month, and all the people who sat in the Square of the House of God, were trembling about the business, and for the rains.
RF EZR 10:10 The Public Debate.
Then Ezra the Priest arose, and said to them;—
"You are guilty, and have married foreign women, to add to the faults of Israel.—
RF EZR 10:11 But now confess it to the EVER-LIVING God of your fathers, and do what will please Him, and separate yourselves from the Peoples of the country, and from the wives you have married!"
RF EZR 10:12 All the assembly thereupon answered, and said with a loud voice, "Let it be done as you have said to us.
RF EZR 10:13 The people are very wet and it is the Rainy Season,—and we are not able to stand outside,—and the business cannot be settled in a day or two,—for we are many who have erred in this thing.
RF EZR 10:14 Let our Chiefs, now, be appointed by all the public, and let anyone in our towns who have married strange women go to them, at appointed times, and the Magistrates of every village, and the Judges, until the hot anger of our God about this matter is turned from us."
RF EZR 10:15 However Jonathan-ben-Ashal and Jhaziah-ben-Thikna stood up against this,—and Meshulam, and Shabthi the Levite, supported them.
RF EZR 10:16 The sons of the Transportation effected it nevertheless, and they selected, with Ezra the Priest, Princes heads of Families of their ancestors, and appointed all of them, to sit on the first day of the tenth month to examine into the business,
RF EZR 10:17 and they finished about all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
RF EZR 10:18 They also found some among the sons of the Priests who had married foreign women, Jeshua-ben-Josadak and his brother Masiah, and Aliazer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah,
RF EZR 10:19 but they undertook to divorce their wives, and offer a sin-offering of the flock for their sin.
RF EZR 10:20 And from the Beni Amer Hanani, and Zebadiah
RF EZR 10:21 and from the Beni Kharim, Masiah, and Aliah, and Shemiah, Ikhizal, and Uziah;
