Ezra 10:1-3

Ezra 10:1-3 CSB

While Ezra prayed and confessed, weeping and falling facedown  before the house of God, an extremely large assembly of Israelite men, women, and children gathered around him. The people also wept bitterly.  Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel,  an Elamite, responded to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the surrounding peoples,  but there is still hope for Israel in spite of this. Therefore, let’s make a covenant before our God  to send away all the foreign wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the command of our God.  Let it be done according to the law.
