RF EZR 9:1 Ezra separates the Jews from Pagans.
When all this was done, the Chiefs approached me and said; "The People of Israel have not separated themselves, or the Priests and Levites, from the populations of the countries, with their abominations,—that is of the Canaanites, the Khitbites, the Perizites, the Jebusites, the Amonites, the Moabites, the Mitzeraim, and the Amorites,—
RF EZR 9:2 for they have taken some of their daughters for themselves, and their sons have corrupted their Sacred Race, with the Peoples of the countries, and the hand of the nobles and gentry has been the first in this sin."
RF EZR 9:3 When I heard this report I tore off my robes, and cloak, and pulled the hair off my head, and beard, and sat down in consternation,
RF EZR 9:4 and all who were terrified at the words of the God of Israel collected to me about this great wrong, and I sat in consternation until the evening sacrifice.
RF EZR 9:5 But when the evening sacrifice was offered I rose from my depression with my robe and cloak torn, and knelt on my knees, and spread my hands to my EVER-LIVING God,
RF EZR 9:6 and exclaimed;—
"My God! I blush and am ashamed to raise my face before You! for our passions increase on our head, and our sins are piled up to the skies!
RF EZR 9:7 From the times of our fathers we have been in great sin to this day! and for our faults, we, our kings, and Priests have been given to the hands of the kings of the Peoples; to ruin, to shame, and to degradation, and a blushing face, as we now are.
RF EZR 9:8 But now when a little momentary kindness has come from our EVER-LIVING God for a portion of us to escape, and to give us a nail in this Sacred Place,—that our God may enlighten our eyes, and grant us a little revival in our bondage,—
RF EZR 9:9 for we are slaves,—but our God has not forsaken us in our slavery,—but has extended mercy to us before the king of the Persians,—to grant us a revival, and to raise the House of our God, and to repair its ashes, and has given us a fence for Judah in Jerusalem;—
RF EZR 9:10 then now, what can be said to our God after this,—when we abandon Your commands,
RF EZR 9:11 which You commanded by the means of your servants, the Preachers, saying;—
"'The land which you are going to possess, is a defiled country from the defilements of the People of the country, and from their depravities with which they have filled it from place to place, in corrupting themselves.
RF EZR 9:12 Consequently give not your sons to their daughters, nor your daughters to their sons, and never seek their peace or prosperity for ever! So that you may be strong and eat the produce of the country, and transmit it to your children for ever! '
RF EZR 9:13 And after all that has come upon us for our bad practices, and for our great offences,—although You our God, have punished us less than our sins,—and given us an escape like this,—
RF EZR 9:14 we again break Your commands, and marry with these depraved people!—Be not angry with us to the extreme!—lest no portion should escape!—
RF EZR 9:15 EVER-LIVING God of Israel! You are righteous, for we a remnant, have escaped, as to-day;—Look! we are before You in our guilt! for none can stand up before You about this!"
