1 Esdras 9:7 In-Context

5 Then everyone from the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem within three days; this was the twentieth day of the ninth month.

6 The whole crowd sat in the square of the temple, shivering because it was winter.

7 Then Ezra stood up and said, "You have broken the Law and married foreign women, and thus have increased the sin of Israel.

8 So confess and give glory to the Lord God of our ancestors.

9 Do God's will and separate yourselves from the neighboring peoples and from the foreign women."
