Ezra 10:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 10:10

And Ezra the priest stood up
In the midst of the assembly to make his speech, acquainting them with the reason of their meeting together:

and said unto them, ye have transgressed;
the law of God in the following instance:

and have taken strange wives;
of the people of the land and others, idolatrous persons:

to increase the trespass of Israel;
to add to former iniquities, which had been the cause of the captivity.

Ezra 10:10 In-Context

8 et omnis qui non venerit in tribus diebus iuxta consilium principum et seniorum auferetur universa substantia eius et ipse abicietur de coetu transmigrationis

9 convenerunt igitur omnes viri Iuda et Beniamin in Hierusalem tribus diebus ipse est mensis nonus vicesimo die mensis et sedit omnis populus in platea domus Dei trementes pro peccato et pluviis

10 et surrexit Ezras sacerdos et dixit ad eos vos transgressi estis et duxistis uxores alienigenas ut adderetis super delictum Israhel

11 et nunc date confessionem Domino Deo patrum vestrorum et facite placitum eius et separamini a populis terrae et ab uxoribus alienigenis

12 et respondit universa multitudo dixitque voce magna iuxta verbum tuum ad nos sic fiat
