Ezra 10:4-44

10:4

Arise
<06965> (8798)_;

for [this] matter
<01697>

[belongeth] unto thee: we also [will be] with thee: be of good courage
<02388> (8798)_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

[it].

10:5

Then arose
<06965> (8799)

Ezra
<05830>_,

and made the chief
<08269>

priests
<03548>_,

the Levites
<03881>_,

and all Israel
<03478>_,

to swear
<07650> (8686)

that they should do
<06213> (8800)

according to this word
<01697>_.

And they sware
<07650> (8735)_.

10:6

Then Ezra
<05830>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

from before
<06440>

the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

into the chamber
<03957>

of Johanan
<03076>

the son
<01121>

of Eliashib
<0475>_:

and [when] he came
<03212> (8799)

thither, he did eat
<0398> (8804)

no bread
<03899>_,

nor drink
<08354> (8804)

water
<04325>_:

for he mourned
<056> (8693)

because of the transgression
<04604>

of them that had been carried away
<01473>_.

10:7

And they made proclamation
<05674> (8686) <06963>

throughout Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>

unto all the children
<01121>

of the captivity
<01473>_,

that they should gather themselves together
<06908> (8736)

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_;

10:8

And that whosoever would not come
<0935> (8799)

within three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

according to the counsel
<06098>

of the princes
<08269>

and the elders
<02205>_,

all his substance
<07399>

should be forfeited
<02763> (8714)_,

and himself separated
<0914> (8735)

from the congregation
<06951>

of those that had been carried away
<01473>_.

{forfeited: Heb. devoted}

10:9

Then all the men
<0582>

of Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>

gathered themselves together
<06908> (8735)

unto Jerusalem
<03389>

within three
<07969>

days
<03117>_.

It [was] the ninth
<08671>

month
<02320>_,

on the twentieth
<06242>

[day] of the month
<02320>_;

and all the people
<05971>

sat
<03427> (8799)

in the street
<07339>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

trembling
<07460> (8688)

because of [this] matter
<01697>_,

and for the great rain
<01653>_.

{the great...: Heb. the showers}

10:10

And Ezra
<05830>

the priest
<03548>

stood up
<06965> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye have transgressed
<04603> (8804)_,

and have taken
<03427> (8686)

strange
<05237>

wives
<0802>_,

to increase
<03254> (8687)

the trespass
<0819>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{have taken: Heb. have caused to dwell, or, have brought back}

10:11

Now therefore make
<05414> (8798)

confession
<08426>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

his pleasure
<07522>_:

and separate
<0914> (8734)

yourselves from the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

and from the strange
<05237>

wives
<0802>_.

10:12

Then all the congregation
<06951>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_,

As thou hast said
<01697>_,

so must we do
<06213> (8800)_.

10:13

But
<061>

the people
<05971>

[are] many
<07227>_,

and [it is] a time
<06256>

of much rain
<01653>_,

and we are not able
<03581>

to stand
<05975> (8800)

without
<02351>_,

neither [is this] a work
<04399>

of one
<0259>

day
<03117>

or two
<08147>_:

for we are many
<07235> (8689)

that have transgressed
<06586> (8800)

in this thing
<01697>_.

{we are many...: or, we have greatly offended in this thing}

10:14

Let now our rulers
<08269>

of all the congregation
<06951>

stand
<05975> (8799)_,

and let all them which have taken
<03427> (8689)

strange
<05237>

wives
<0802>

in our cities
<05892>

come
<0935> (8799)

at appointed
<02163> (8794)

times
<06256>_,

and with them the elders
<02205>

of every city
<05892>_,

and the judges
<08199> (8802)

thereof, until the fierce
<02740>

wrath
<0639>

of our God
<0430>

for this matter
<01697>

be turned
<07725> (8687)

from us. {for this...: or, till this matter be dispatched}

10:15

Only Jonathan
<03129>

the son
<01121>

of Asahel
<06214>

and Jahaziah
<03167>

the son
<01121>

<08616>

<04918>

and Shabbethai
<07678>

the Levite
<03881>

helped
<05826> (8804)

them. {were...: Heb. stood}

10:16

And the children
<01121>

of the captivity
<01473>

did so
<06213> (8799)_.

And Ezra
<05830>

the priest
<03548>_,

[with] certain
<0582>

chief
<07218>

of the fathers
<01>_,

after the house
<01004>

of their fathers
<01>_,

and all of them by [their] names
<08034>_,

were separated
<0914> (8735)_,

and sat down
<03427> (8799)

in the first
<0259>

day
<03117>

of the tenth
<06224>

month
<02320>

to examine
<01875> (8800)

the matter
<01697>_.

10:17

And they made an end
<03615> (8762)

with all the men
<0582>

that had taken
<03427> (8689)

<05237>

wives
<0802>

by the first
<0259>
