Ezra 10:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezra 10:13

11 Now therefore, ^amake confession to the Lord God of your fathers, and do His will; ^bseparate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives.”

12 Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, “Yes! As you have said, so we must do.

13 But there are many people; it is the season for heavy rain, and we are not able to stand outside. Nor is this the work of one or two days, for there are many of us who have transgressed in this matter.

14 Please, let the leaders of our entire assembly stand; and let all those in our cities who have taken pagan wives come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of their cities, until ^athe fierce wrath of our God is turned away from us in this matter.”

15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and ^aMeshullam and Shabbethai the Levite gave them support.
