5 Then Ezra got up and made the leading priests and the Levites and all the laity take an oath that they would carry this out. 6 They took the oath, and Ezra went up from before the house of God into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib, where he spent the night, neither eating bread nor drinking water, but mourning over the broken faith of the exiles. 7 A proclamation was then issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the exiles, that they were to assemble at Jerusalem, 8 and that if anyone failed to appear within three days, the command of the authorities and the sheikhs was that all his property should be confiscated and he himself excommunicated from the community of the exiles.
9 Within three days all the men 9 of Judah and Benjamin did assemble at Jerusalem; it was the twentieth day of the ninth month, and all the people sat in the open space in front of the house of God, shivering for fear and also from the heavy rain. 10 Then Ezra the priest rose and said to them, “You have broken faith, you have married foreign women, to add to the guilt of Israel. 11 Now confess to the Eternal the God of your fathers, and do his will: separate yourselves from the natives and from the foreign women.” 12 The community all answered with a shout, “It is for us to do as you say. 13 But the people are many, and it is the rainy season; we cannot stand outside; and this is not work for a day or two, it is a transgression which is far spread. 14 Let our authorities have charge of the community, and let all in our towns who have married foreign wives come at fixed times, along with the sheikhs and magistrates of every town, so as to avert the fierce anger of our God,” 15 Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahziali the son of Tikvah, however, were opposed to this, and they were supported by Meshullam and by Shabbethai the Levite.
16 Then the exiles took action; Ezra the priest was set apart, with certain chiefs of clans, representatives who were all named, and on the first day of the tenth month they sat to investigate the matter. 17 By the first day of the first month, they had come to the end of all who had married foreign wives. 18 Some sons of the priests were found to have married foreign wives; 19 they promised to put away their wives, and their guilt-offering was a ram of the flock for their guilt. 18 These were: from the family of Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brothers, Maaseiah and Eliezer and Jarib and Gedaliah; 20 from the family of Immer, Hanani and Zebadiah; 21 from the family of Harim, Maaseiah and Elijah and Shemaiah and Jehiel and Uzziah; 22 from the family of Pashhur, Elioenai and Maaseiah and Ishmael and Nethanel and Jozabad and Elasah; 23 from the Levites, Jozabad and Shimei and Kelaiah (that is, Kelita) and Pethahiah and Judah and Eliezer. 24 From the singers, Eliashib. From the warders, Shallum and Telem and Uri. 25 From the laity: Ramiah and Izziah and Malchijah and Mijamin and Eleazar and Malchijah and Benaiah, 26 from the family of Parosh; Mattaniah and Zeeharlah and Jehiel and Abdi and Jeremoth and Elijah, from the family of Elam; 27 Elioenai and Eliashib and Mattaniah and Jeremoth and Zabad and Aziza, from the family of Zattu; 28 Jehohanan and Hatianlah and Zabbai and Athlai, from the family of Bebai; 29 Meshullam and Mailuch and Adaiah and Jashub and Sheal and Jeremoth, from the family of Bani; 30 Adna and Chelal and Benaiah and Maaseiah and Mattaniah and Bezalel and Binnui and Manasseh, from the family of PahathmOab;31-32 31-32Eliezer and Isshijah and Malchijah and Shemaiah and Shimeon and Benjamin and Malluch and Shemariah, from the family of Harim; 33 Mattenai and Mattattah and Zabad and Eliphelet and Jeremai and Manasseh and Shimei, from the family of Hashum; 34 Maadai and Amram and Uel 35 and Benaiah and Bedeiah and Cheluhu 36 and Vaniah and Meremoth and Eliashib 37 and Mattaniah and Mattenai and Jaasu 38 and Bani and Binnui and Shimei 39 and Shelemiah and Nathan and Adaiah 40 and Machnadebai and Shashai and Sharai 41 and Azarel and Shelemiah and Shemariah 42 and Shallum and Amariah and Joseph, 43 from the family of Bigvai; Jeiel and Mattithiah and Zabad and Zebina and Iddo and Joel and Benaiah, from the family of Nebo. 44 All these had married foreign wives, and some of their wives had borne children.
