Ezra 10:9-15

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}
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}
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>_.
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)_.
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}
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}
Only Jonathan
<03129>
the son
<01121>
of Asahel
<06214>
and Jahaziah
<03167>
the son
<01121>
of Tikvah
<08616>
were employed
<05975> (8804)
about this [matter]: and Meshullam
<04918>
and Shabbethai
<07678>
the Levite
<03881>
helped
<05826> (8804)
them. {were...: Heb. stood}
