Ezra 10:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported them.

¹⁶ Then the returned exiles did so. Ezra the priest and certain heads of fathers’ houses were selected, according to their fathers’ houses, each of them by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to investigate the matter.

¹⁷ And by the first day of the first month they had come to the end of the cases of the men married to foreign wives.
