Ezra 10:14-16

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁴ Let our princes stand in for the whole assembly, and let all those in our cities who have married foreign wives come at set times, together with the elders and judges of each city, until the ^(A)burning anger of our God on account of this matter is turned away from us.” ¹⁵ However, Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood against this, with Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helping them.

¹⁶ But the exiles did so. And ^[a]Ezra the priest separated out men who were heads of fathers’ households for each of their father’s households, all of them by name. So they ^[b]convened on the first day of the tenth month to investigate the matter.
