Ezra 10:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³ However, many people are involved, and it’s raining heavily. Furthermore, this is not just a matter of a day or two of work, because many of us have sinned in this. ¹⁴ So let’s have our officials remain on behalf of the whole community. Then all who have married foreign wives are to come appear at specific times before^[a] the elders and judges of each city until the fierce anger of our God has been turned away from us in this matter.”

¹⁵ Only Asahel’s son Jonathan and Tikvah’s son Jahzeiah opposed this, and they were supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai the descendant of Levi.
