Now when Ezra
had prayed
,
and when he had confessed
,
weeping
and casting himself down
before
the house
of God
,
there assembled
unto him out of Israel
a
very
great
congregation
of men
and women
and children
:
for the people
wept
very
sore.
2
And Shechaniah
the son
of Jehiel
,
one
of the sons
of Elam, answered
and said
unto Ezra
,
We have trespassed
against our God
,
and have taken
strange
wives
of the people
of the land
:
yet
now
there is
hope
in Israel
concerning this thing.
3
Now therefore let us make
a covenant
with our God
to put away
all
the wives
,
and such as are born
of them, according to the counsel of my lord,
and of those that tremble
at the commandment
of our God
;
and let it be done
according to the law
.
4
Arise
;
for
this
matter
belongeth
unto thee: we also
will be
with thee: be of good courage,
and do
it
.
5
Then arose
Ezra
,
and made the chief
priests
,
the Levites
,
and all
Israel
,
to swear
that they should do
according
to this
word
.
And they sware
.
6
Then Ezra
rose up
from before
the house
of God
,
and
went
into the chamber
of Johanan
the son
of Eliashib
: and
when
he came thither, he did eat
no bread
,
nor
drink
water
:
for he mourned
because of the transgression
of them that had been carried away
.
7
And they
made
proclamation
throughout Judah
and Jerusalem
un
to all
the children
of the captivity,
that they should gather themselves together
unto Jerusalem
;
8
And that whosoever would not come
within three
days
,
according to the counsel
of the princes
and the elders
,
all
his substance
should be forfeited
,
and
himself
separated
from the congregation
of those that had been carried away
.
9
Then
all
the men
of Judah
and Benjamin
gathered themselves together
unto Jerusalem
within three
days
.
It
was
the ninth
month
,
on the twentieth
day
of the
month
;
and
all
the people
sat
in the street
of the house
of God
,
trembling
because
of
this
matter
,
and for the great rain
.
10
And Ezra
the priest
stood up
,
and said
unto them, Ye have transgressed,
and have taken
strange
wives
,
to increase
the trespass
of Israel
.
11
Now
therefore make
confession
unto the LORD
God
of your fathers
,
and do
his pleasure
:
and separate
yourselves from the people
of the land
,
and from the strange
wives
.
12
Then
all
the congregation
answered
and said
with a loud
voice
, As thou hast said,
so must we do
.
13
But
the people
are
many
,
and
it is
a time
of much rain
,
and we are not able
to stand
without
,
neither
is
this
a work
of one
day
or two
:
for we are many
that have transgressed
in
this
thing
.
14
Let
now our rulers
of
all
the congregation
stand
,
and let
all
them which have taken
strange
wives
in our cities
come
at appointed
times
,
and with them the elders
of every
city
,
and the judges
thereof,
until
the fierce
wrath
of our God
for this matter
be turned
from us.
15
Only
Jonathan
the son
of Asahel
and Jahaziah
the son
of Tikvah
were employed
about this
matter
: and Meshullam
and Shabbethai
the Levite
helped
them.
16
And the children
of the captivity
did
so
.
And Ezra
the priest
,
with
certain
chief
of the fathers
,
after the house
of their fathers
,
and
all
of them by
their
names
,
were separated
,
and sat down
in the first
day
of the tenth
month
to examine
the matter
.
17
And they made an end
with
all
the men
that had taken
strange
wives
by the first
day
of the first
month
.
18
And among the sons
of the priests
there were found
that had taken
strange
wives
:
namely
, of the sons of Jeshua
the son
of Jozadak,
