| 10 1 | While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel; for the people wept bitterly. | The plan for ending mixed marriages. Ez.10.1-17 | וּכְהִתְפַּלֵּל עֶזְרָא וּכְהִתְוַדֹּתֹו בֹּכֶה וּמִתְנַפֵּל לִפְנֵי בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים נִקְבְּצוּ אֵלָיו מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל קָהָל רַב־מְאֹד אֲנָשִׁים וְנָשִׁים וִילָדִים כִּי־בָכוּ הָעָם הַרְבֵּה־בֶכֶה׃ ס |
|
| 2 | And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: "We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this. | | וַיַּעַן שְׁכַנְיָה בֶן־יְחִיאֵל מִבְּנֵי כ= עֹולָם ק= עֵילָם וַיֹּאמֶר לְעֶזְרָא אֲנַחְנוּ מָעַלְנוּ בֵאלֹהֵינוּ וַנֹּשֶׁב נָשִׁים נָכְרִיֹּות מֵעַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וְעַתָּה יֵשׁ־מִקְוֶה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־זֹאת׃ |
|
| 3 | Therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law. | | וְעַתָּה נִכְרָת־בְּרִית לֵאלֹהֵינוּ לְהֹוצִיא כָל־נָשִׁים וְהַנֹּולָד מֵהֶם בַּעֲצַת אֲדֹנָי וְהַחֲרֵדִים בְּמִצְוַת אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְכַתֹּורָה יֵעָשֶׂה׃ |
|
| 4 | Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; be strong and do it." | | קוּם כִּי־עָלֶיךָ הַדָּבָר וַאֲנַחְנוּ עִמָּךְ חֲזַק וַעֲשֵׂה׃ ף |
|
| 5 | Then Ezra arose and made the leading priests and Levites and all Israel take oath that they would do as had been said. So they took the oath. | | וַיָּקָם עֶזְרָא וַיַּשְׁבַּע אֶת־שָׂרֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲשֹׂות כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיִּשָּׁבֵעוּ׃ |
|
| 6 | Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib, where he spent the night, neither eating bread nor drinking water; for he was mourning over the faithlessness of the exiles. | | וַיָּקָם עֶזְרָא מִלִּפְנֵי בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶל־לִשְׁכַּת יְהֹוחָןָן בֶּן־אֶלְיָשִׁיב וַיֵּלֶךְ שָׁם לֶחֶם לֹא־אָכַל וּמַיִם לֹא־שָׁתָה כִּי מִתְאַבֵּל עַל־מַעַל הַגֹּולָה׃ ס |
|
| 7 | And a proclamation was made throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the returned exiles that they should assemble at Jerusalem, | | וַיַּעֲבִירוּ קֹול בִּיהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִַם לְכֹל בְּנֵי הַגֹּולָה לְהִקָּבֵץ יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃ |
|
| 8 | and that if any one did not come within three days, by order of the officials and the elders all his property should be forfeited, and he himself banned from the congregation of the exiles. | | וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָבֹוא לִשְׁלֹשֶׁת הַיָּמִים כַּעֲצַת הַשָּׂרִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים יָחֳרַם כָּל־רְכוּשֹׁו וְהוּא יִבָּדֵל מִקְּהַל הַגֹּולָה׃ ס |
|
| 9 | Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the open square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of the heavy rain. | | וַיִּקָּבְצוּ כָל־אַנְשֵׁי־יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן יְרוּשָׁלִַם לִשְׁלֹשֶׁת הַיָּמִים הוּא חֹדֶשׁ הַתְּשִׁיעִי בְּעֶשְׂרִים בַּחֹדֶשׁ וַיֵּשְׁבוּ כָל־הָעָם בִּרְחֹוב בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים מַרְעִידִים עַל־הַדָּבָר וּמֵהַגְּשָׁמִים׃ ף |
|
| 10 | And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have trespassed and married foreign women, and so increased the guilt of Israel. | | וַיָּקָם עֶזְרָא הַכֹּהֵן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם אַתֶּם מְעַלְתֶּם וַתֹּשִׁיבוּ נָשִׁים נָכְרִיֹּות לְהֹוסִיף עַל־אַשְׁמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
|
| 11 | Now then make confession to Yahweh the God of your fathers, and do his will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives." | | וְעַתָּה תְּנוּ תֹודָה לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי־אֲבֹתֵיכֶם וַעֲשׂוּ רְצֹונֹו וְהִבָּדְלוּ מֵעַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וּמִן־הַנָּשִׁים הַנָּכְרִיֹּות׃ |
|
| 12 | Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, "It is so; we must do as you have said. | | וַיַּעְנוּ כָל־הַקָּהָל וַיֹּאמְרוּ קֹול גָּדֹול כֵּן כ= כְּדִבְרֶיךָ ק= כִּדְבָרְךָ עָלֵינוּ לַעֲשֹׂות׃ |
|
| 13 | But the people are many, and it is a time of heavy rain; we cannot stand in the open. Nor is this a work for one day or for two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter. | | אֲבָל הָעָם רָב וְהָעֵת גְּשָׁמִים וְאֵין כֹּחַ לַעֲמֹוד בַּחוּץ וְהַמְּלָאכָה לֹא־לְיֹום אֶחָד וְלֹא לִשְׁנַיִם כִּי־הִרְבִּינוּ לִפְשֹׁעַ בַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה׃ |
|
| 14 | Let our officials stand for the whole assembly; let all in our cities who have taken foreign wives come at appointed times, and with them the elders and judges of every city, till the fierce wrath of our God over this matter be averted from us." | | יַעֲמְדוּ־נָא שָׂרֵינוּ לְכָל־הַקָּהָל וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר בֶּעָרֵינוּ הַהֹשִׁיב נָשִׁים נָכְרִיֹּות יָבֹא לְעִתִּים מְזֻמָּנִים וְעִמָּהֶם זִקְנֵי־עִיר וָעִיר וְשֹׁפְטֶיהָ עַד לְהָשִׁיב חֲרֹון אַף־אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד לַדָּבָר הַזֶּה׃ ף |
|
| 15 | Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullum and Shabbethai the Levite supported them. | | אַךְ יֹונָתָן בֶּן־עֲשָׂהאֵל וְיַחְזְיָה בֶן־תִּקְוָה עָמְדוּ עַל־זֹאת וּמְשֻׁלָּם וְשַׁבְּתַי הַלֵּוִי עֲזָרֻם׃ |
|
| 16 | Then the returned exiles did so. Ezra the priest selected men, heads of fathers' houses, according to their fathers' houses, each of them designated by name. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to examine the matter; | | וַיַּעֲשׂוּ־כֵן בְּנֵי הַגֹּולָה וַיִּבָּדְלוּ עֶזְרָא הַכֹּהֵן אֲנָשִׁים רָאשֵׁי הָאָבֹות לְבֵית אֲבֹתָם וְכֻלָּם בְּשֵׁמֹות וַיֵּשְׁבוּ בְּיֹום אֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הָעֲשִׂירִי לְדַרְיֹושׁ הַדָּבָר׃ |
|
| 17 | and by the first day of the first month they had come to the end of all the men who had married foreign women. | | וַיְכַלּוּ בַכֹּל אֲנָשִׁים הַהֹשִׁיבוּ נָשִׁים נָכְרִיֹּות עַד יֹום אֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשֹׁון׃ ף |
