rotherham@Ezra:7:23 @ Whatsoever is due to an edict of the God of the heavens, let it be done diligently, for the house of the God of the heavens, for wherefore should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
rotherham@Ezra:7:24 @ And, you, we do certify, that, as touching any of the priests or the Levites, the singers, the doorkeepers, the Nethinim, or the servitors of this house of God, tribute, excise or toll, shall it not be competent to impose upon them.

rotherham@Ezra:8:15 @ And I gathered them together, unto the river that cometh into Ahava, and we encamped there three days, and I informed myself among the people and the priests, and, of the sons of Levi, found I none there.
rotherham@Ezra:8:16 @ So I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men, also for Joiarib and for Elnathan, teachers.
rotherham@Ezra:8:17 @ And I sent them forth unto Iddo the chief, at the place Casiphia, and I put into their mouth words, to speak unto Iddo and his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, to bring unto us attendants for the house of our God.
rotherham@Ezra:8:18 @ So they brought unto us, according to the good hand of our God upon us, a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, and Sherebiah, and his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
rotherham@Ezra:8:19 @ and Hashabiah, and, with him, Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;

rotherham@Ezra:8:21 @ Then proclaimed I there a fast, by the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a smooth way, for us and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
rotherham@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to ask of the king, a band of soldiers and horsemen, to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God, is upon all who seek him, for good, But, his power and his anger, are against all who forsake him.
rotherham@Ezra:8:23 @ So we fasted and sought of our God, concerning this, and he suffered himself to be entreated by us.
rotherham@Ezra:8:24 @ Then I separated, from among the rulers of the priests, twelve, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and, with them, from among their brethren, ten;
rotherham@Ezra:8:25 @ and weighed unto them, the silver and the gold, and the utensils, the heave-offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counselors and his rulers and all Israel who were present, had offered:
rotherham@Ezra:8:26 @ I even weighed unto their hand, of silver, six hundred and fifty talents, and, of utensils of silver, a hundred talents, of gold, a hundred talents;
rotherham@Ezra:8:27 @ and, bowls of gold, twenty, of a thousand drams, and, utensils of fine bright bronze, two, precious as gold.
rotherham@Ezra:8:28 @ Then said I unto them, Ye, are hallowed unto Yahweh, and, the utensils, are hallowed, and, the silver and the gold, are a freewill offering, unto Yahweh, God of your fathers:
rotherham@Ezra:8:29 @ Watch and guard, until ye weigh before the rulers of the priests and the Levites and the ancestral rulers of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Yahweh.
rotherham@Ezra:8:30 @ So the priests and the Levites accepted the weight of the silver and the gold, and the utensils, to bring to Jerusalem, unto the house of our God.
rotherham@Ezra:8:31 @ Then brake we up from the river of Ahava, on the twelfth of the first month, to journey unto Jerusalem, and, the hand of our God, was upon us, and he delivered us from the grasp of the enemy and of the lier in wait, by the way.
rotherham@Ezra:8:32 @ So we came to Jerusalem, and we rested there, three days.
rotherham@Ezra:8:33 @ And, on the fourth day, was weighedthe silver and the gold and the utensils, in the house of our God, unto the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest, and, with him, was Eleazar son of Phinehas, and, with them, were Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui, Levites:
rotherham@Ezra:8:34 @ by the number and by the weight of the whole, and all the weight, was written down, at that time.
rotherham@Ezra:8:35 @ They who came in out of the captivity, Sons of the Exile, offered as ascending-sacrifices unto the God of Israelbullocks twelve for all Israel, rams ninety-six, young sheep seventy-seven, he-goats for bearing sin, twelve, the whole, as an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh.
rotherham@Ezra:8:36 @ Then delivered they the decrees of the king, unto the satraps of the king, and the pashas Beyond the River, and they upheld the people and the house of God.
rotherham@Ezra:9:1 @ Now, when these things were ended, the rulers drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not kept themselves separate from the peoples of the lands, in view of their abominations-even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites;
rotherham@Ezra:9:2 @ for they have taken of their daughters, for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have intermingled themselves among the peoples of the lands, and, the hand of the rulers and the deputies, hath, in this unfaithfulness, been, foremost.
rotherham@Ezra:9:3 @ When I heard this thing, I rent my garment, and my robe, and tore out of the hair of my head and my beard, and sat stunned.
rotherham@Ezra:9:4 @ Then, unto me, were gathered, all who trembled at the words of the God of Israel, concerning the unfaithfulness of them who had been exiled, but, I, sat stunned, until the evening gift.
rotherham@Ezra:9:5 @ And, at the evening gift, I arose from mine affliction, which had been accompanied by the rending of my garment and my robe, and I bowed upon my knees, and spread forth my hands unto Yahweh my God;
rotherham@Ezra:9:6 @ and said, O my God, I turn pale and am ashamed, to lift up, O my God, my face unto thee, for, our iniquities, have multiplied above the head, and our guilt hath magnified itself unto the heavens.
rotherham@Ezra:9:7 @ Since the days of our fathers, we, have been in great guilt, until this day, and, for our iniquities, have we been given upwe, our kings, our priests, into the hand of the kings of the lands, by sword and by captivity and by spoiling and by a turning pale of face, as at this day.
rotherham@Ezra:9:8 @ And, now, for a very little moment, hath come favour from Yahweh our God, in leaving to us a remnant to escape, and in giving to us a nail in his holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
rotherham@Ezra:9:9 @ For, bondmen, we are, but, in our bondage, hath our God not forsaken us, but extended unto us lovingkindness before the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up on high the house of our God, to raise up the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
rotherham@Ezra:9:10 @ But, now, what can we say, O our God, after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
rotherham@Ezra:9:11 @ which thou didst command by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, As for the land which, ye, are entering to possess, an impure land, it is, with the impurity of the peoples of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to the other, with their uncleanness.
rotherham@Ezra:9:12 @ Now, therefore, your daughters, do not ye give to their sons, and, their daughters, do not ye take for your sons, neither shall ye seek their prosperity nor their pleasure unto times age-abiding, to the end ye may become strong, and may eat the good of the land, and may suffer your children to possess I, unto times age-abiding.
rotherham@Ezra:9:13 @ And, after all that hath come upon us, for our wicked doings, and for our great guilt For, thou, O our God, hast spared us, punishing us less than our iniquities deserved, and hast given us a deliverance such as this,
rotherham@Ezra:9:14 @ should we again break thy commandments and join ourselves by affinity of marriage with the peoples of these abominations, wouldst thou not be angry with us, unto a full end, that there should be neither remainder nor deliverance?
rotherham@Ezra:9:15 @ O Yahweh, God of Israel, righteous thou art, for we have had left us a deliverance as at this day, here we are, before thee, in our guilty deeds, for there is no standing before thee, because of this thing!
rotherham@Ezra:10:1 @ Now, when Ezra had prayed and when he had made confession, weeping and casting himself down, before the house of God, there gathered unto him out of Israel, an exceeding large convocationmen and women and children, for the people wept with a very bitter weeping.
rotherham@Ezra:10:2 @ Then responded Shecaniah son of Jehiel of the sons of Elam, and said unto Ezra, We, have been faithful with our God, and have married foreign women from among the peoples of the land, yet, now, there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
rotherham@Ezra:10:3 @ Now, therefore, let us solemnize a covenant unto our Godto put away all the women and such as have been born of them, in the counsel of my lord, and them who tremble at the commandment of our God, and, according to the law, let it be done.
rotherham@Ezra:10:4 @ Arise, for, upon thee, resteth the thing, but, we, are with thee, be strong, and act.
rotherham@Ezra:10:5 @ Then arose Ezra and made the rulers of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, swear to do according to this wordand they sware.
rotherham@Ezra:10:6 @ Then arose Ezra from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib, and, when he came thither, bread, did he not eat, and, water, did he not drink, for he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of them of the Exile.
rotherham@Ezra:10:7 @ Then made they a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem, unto all the Sons of the Exile, to gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
rotherham@Ezra:10:8 @ and, whosoever should not come within three days, according to the counsel of the rulers and the elders, all his goods should be devoted, and, himself, be separated from the convocation of them of the Exile.
rotherham@Ezra:10:9 @ Then were gathered together all the men of Judah and Benjamin unto Jerusalem, within three days, the same, was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, and all the people remained in the broadway of the house of God, trembling concerning the thing, and because of the heavy rains.
rotherham@Ezra:10:10 @ Then arose Ezra the priest, and said unto them, Ye, have acted unfaithfully, and have married foreign women, to add unto the guilt of Israel.
rotherham@Ezra:10:11 @ Now, therefore, make confession unto Yahweh God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.
rotherham@Ezra:10:12 @ Then responded all the convocation and said, with a loud voice, Thus, according to thy word concerning us, must it be done.
rotherham@Ezra:10:13 @ Nevertheless, the people, are many, and, the season, is that of the heavy rains, and we are not able to stand outside, and, the business, is not one for a single day, nor yet for two, for we have abundantly transgressed, in this thing.
rotherham@Ezra:10:14 @ Let, we beseech thee, our rulers take up their station for all the convocation, and, all who, throughout our cities, have married foreign women, let them come in at times appointed, and, with them, the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the glow of the anger of our God be turned from us, concerning this matter.
rotherham@Ezra:10:15 @ Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, made a stand against this, and, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite, helped them.
rotherham@Ezra:10:16 @ But the Sons of the Exile, did thus, and Ezra the priest separated to himself certain menancestral heads by their ancestral houses, and all of them by name, and they took their seats on the first day of the tenth month to search into the matter;
rotherham@Ezra:10:17 @ and they made an end with all the men who had married foreign women, by the first day of the first month.
