1
ORA, mentre Esdra faceva orazione, e confessione, piangendo, e prostrato davanti alla Casa di Dio, una grandissima moltitudine d’Israele, d’uomini, e di donne, e di fanciulli, si adunò appresso di lui; perciocchè il popolo piangeva d’un gran pianto.
2
Allora Secania, figliuolo di Iehiel, dei figliuoli di Elam, parlò ad Esdra, e gli disse: Noi abbiam misfatto contro all’Iddio nostro, avendo menate donne straniere, d’infra i popoli di questo paese; ma ora vi è pure alcuna speranza ad Israele intorno a questo.
3
Ora dunque, patteggiamo con l’Iddio nostro, che noi rimanderemo tutte queste donne, ed i figliuoli nati da esse, secondo il consiglio del Signore, e di coloro che tremano al comandamento dell’Iddio nostro; e siane fatto secondo la Legge.
4
Levati; perciocchè quest’affare ti appartiene, e noi saremo teco; prendi animo, e metti la mano all’opera.

INTRODUCTION TO EZRA 10
Upon Ezra's prayer and confession, it was proposed by Shechaniah, that those who had married strange wives should put them away with their children, which they swore to do, Ezr 10:1-5, and proclamation was made throughout the land for all to meet at Jerusalem in three days' time, and accordingly they did, Ezr 10:6-9 when, at the exhortation of Ezra, all agreed to it, and persons were appointed to see it done, and the work was finished in the space of three months, Ezr 10:10-17 and a list of the names of those is given who had married such wives, and now put them away; of the priests, Ezr 10:18-22, of the Levites, Ezr 10:23,24, of the other Israelites, Ezr 10:24-44.
