And they sware. 6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehanan the son of Eliashib and when he came thither, he y 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 through. out Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves togetheruntoJerusalem, 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 forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away. 9 Then all the men of Judah and Ben jamin 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 be cause e of this matter, and for the great 1 rain. 10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have 3 taken strange wives to increase the trespass of Israel. 11 Now therefore make confession unto f 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 5 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 Of putting away strange Wives; for 1 this matter be turned from us. 15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel, and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah, 2 were em-1 ployed about this matter; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. 16 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 a the matter. 17 And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month. 18 And among the sons of the b 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.

So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a k time. 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 thegates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house p that I shall enter into.
