Ezra 9:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezra 9:4

2 For they have ^ataken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the ^bholy seed is ^cmixed with the peoples of those lands. Indeed, the hand of the leaders and rulers has been foremost in this¹ trespass.”

3 So when I heard this thing, ^aI tore my garment and my robe, and plucked out some of the hair of my head and beard, and sat down ^bastonished.

4 Then everyone who ^atrembled at the words of the God of Israel assembled to me, because of the transgression of those who had been carried away captive, and I sat astonished until the ^bevening sacrifice.

5 At the evening sacrifice I arose from my fasting; and having torn my garment and my robe, I fell on my knees and ^aspread out my hands to the Lord my God.

6 And I said: “O my God, I am too ^aashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God; for ^bour iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has ^cgrown up to the heavens.
