Esdras 9:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 9:4

There were assembled unto me everyone that trembled at the
words of the God of Israel
That had a reverence for the word of God, and the things contained in it; feared to break the laws of God, and trembled at his judgments, which they might apprehend would come upon transgressors, see ( Isaiah 46:2 ) ,

because of the transgression of those that had been carried away;
into Babylon, and were now returned, and which was an aggravation of their transgression:

and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice:
or until the ninth hour, as the Syriac version, which was about our three o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the evening sacrifice was offered; perhaps it was in the morning when Ezra first received his information from the princes.

Esdras 9:4 In-Context

2 Car ils ont pris de leurs filles pour eux et pour leurs fils, et ont mĂȘlĂ© la race sainte avec les peuples de ces pays; et les chefs et les magistrats ont Ă©tĂ© les premiers Ă  commettre ce pĂ©chĂ©.
3 Lorsque j'entendis cela, je dĂ©chirai mes vĂȘtements et mon manteau, je m'arrachai les cheveux de la tĂȘte et les poils de la barbe, et je m'assis dĂ©solĂ©.
4 AuprÚs de moi s'assemblÚrent tous ceux que faisaient trembler les paroles du Dieu d'Israël, à cause du péché des fils de la captivité; et moi, je restai assis et désolé, jusqu'à l'offrande du soir.
5 Puis, au moment de l'offrande du soir, je me levai du sein de mon humiliation, avec mes vĂȘtements et mon manteau dĂ©chirĂ©s, je tombai Ă  genoux, j'Ă©tendis les mains vers l'Eternel, mon Dieu,
6 et je dis: Mon Dieu, je suis dans la confusion, et j'ai honte, ĂŽ mon Dieu, de lever ma face vers toi; car nos iniquitĂ©s se sont multipliĂ©es par-dessus nos tĂȘtes, et nos fautes ont atteint jusqu'aux cieux.
