Ezra 10:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² Then Shechaniah, the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have rebelled against our God and have taken strange women of the peoples of the land, but there is yet hope for Israel concerning this thing.

³ Now, therefore, let us make a covenant with our God to send away all the women and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of the Lord and of those that fear the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

⁴ Arise; for this matter belongs unto thee; we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
