CHAPTER X. Ezra mourning,assembleth the people. TOW when Ezra had prayed, and weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and woinen and children: for the people wept 1 very sore. h De.9.18. 2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed b against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is c hope in Israel concerning this thing. 3 Now therefore let us make a d covenant with our God to 2 put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those b La.3.22,23. c Jno.8.21,24. 1Co.15.17. 3 devoted. i 1Sa, 12.18. 4 showers. ♪ caused to dwell, or, have brought back. k Pr.28.13. 1Jno.1.9. 6 or, have greatly offended. 7or, be turned from us till this matter be despatched. He reformeth the people. that tremble e at the commandment f 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 g that they should do according to this word. And they sware. 6 T 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 h 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 unto 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 3 forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away. 9 T Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, and the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because i of this matter, and for the great 4 rain. 10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have 5 taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel. 11 Now therefore make confession unto k 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 6 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 7 this matter be turned from us. 15 Only Jonathan the son of The names of them which NEHEMIAH, I.

So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.h 1 7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah; 8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house i that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according k to the good hand of my God upon me. 9 Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters.
