@ 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
.
strkjv@Ezra:10:12
@ Then all the
congregation
answered
and
said
with a
loud
voice
, As thou hast
said
, so must we
do
.
strkjv@Ezra:10:13
@
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
.
strkjv@Ezra:10:14
@ 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.

@ 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.

@ 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
.
strkjv@Ezra:10:17
@ And they made an
end
with all the
men
that had
taken
strange
wives
by the
first
day
of the
first
month

strkjv@Ezra:10:18
@ 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
, and his
brethren
;
Maaseiah
, and
Eliezer
, and
Jarib
, and
Gedaliah

gave
their
hands
that they would put
away
their
wives
; and being
guilty
, they offered a
ram
of the
flock
for their
trespass
.
