Ezra 10:18

Verse 18 of 44. The 10th of 10 chapters in Ezra, in History.

14Now let our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”

15Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.

16The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

17They finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.

18Among the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.

19They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.

20Of the sons of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah.

21Of the sons of Harim: Maaseiah, Elijah, Shemaiah, Jehiel, and Uzziah.

22Of the sons of Pashhur: Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah.
