Ezra 10:12-14

Tree of Life Version

¹² The entire assembly answered and said with a loud voice, “Yes, we will do just as you have said. ^{[a] 13} However, there are many people here and it is the rainy season, and we are not able to stand outside. Besides, this task cannot be resolved in one or two days, for we have transgressed greatly in this matter. ¹⁴ Let our leaders stand for the whole assembly. Let everyone in our cities who has married a foreign woman come at an appointed time, and with them the elders of each city and its judges, until the burning wrath of our God is turned back from us in this matter.”
