1 And at Ezra's praying, and at his making confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there have been gathered unto him out of Israel an assembly very great — men and women and children — for the people have wept, multiplying weeping. YLT — Ezra 10:1
2 And Shechaniah son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answereth and saith to Ezra, ‘We — we have trespassed against our God, and we settle strange women of the peoples of the land; and now there is hope for Israel concerning this, YLT — Ezra 10:2
3 and now, let us make a covenant with our God, to cause all the women to go out, and that which is born of them, by the counsel of the Lord, and of those trembling at the command of our God, and according to law it is done; YLT — Ezra 10:3
4 rise, for on thee [is] the matter, and we [are] with thee; be strong, and do.’ YLT — Ezra 10:4

7 And they cause a voice to pass over into Judah and Jerusalem, to all sons of the removal, to be gathered to Jerusalem, YLT — Ezra 10:7
8 and every one who cometh not in by the third day, according to the counsel of the heads and of the elders, all his substance is devoted, and himself separated from the assembly of the removal. YLT — Ezra 10:8
9 And gathered are all the men of Judah and Benjamin to Jerusalem by the third day, it [is] the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sit in the broad place of the house of God, trembling on account of the matter and of the showers. YLT — Ezra 10:9
10 And Ezra the priest riseth, and saith unto them, ‘Ye — ye have trespassed, and ye settle strange women, to add to the guilt of Israel; YLT — Ezra 10:10
11 and, now, make confession to Jehovah, God of your fathers, and do His good pleasure, and be separated from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women.’ YLT — Ezra 10:11
12 And all the assembly answer and say [with] a great voice, ‘Right; according to thy word — on us to do; YLT — Ezra 10:12
13 but the people [are] many, and [it is] the time of showers, and there is no power to stand without, and the work [is] not for one day, nor for two, for we have multiplied to transgress in this thing. YLT — Ezra 10:13
14 ’Let, we pray thee, our heads of all the assembly stand, and all who [are] in our cities, who have settled strange wives, do come in at the times appointed, and with them the elders of city and city, and its judges, till the turning back of the fury of the wrath of our God from us, for this thing.’ YLT — Ezra 10:14

17 and they finish with all the men who have settled strange women unto the first day of the first month. YLT — Ezra 10:17
