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 De entre las mujeres de esos pueblos han tomado esposas para sí mismos y para sus hijos, mezclando así la raza santa con la de los pueblos vecinos. Y los primeros en cometer tal infidelidad han sido los jefes y los gobernantes».
3 Cuando escuché esto, me rasgué la túnica y el manto, me arranqué los pelos de la cabeza y de la barba, y me postré muy angustiado.
4 Entonces, por causa del pecado cometido por los repatriados, se reunieron a mi alrededor todos los que obedecían la palabra de Dios. Y yo seguí angustiado hasta la hora del sacrificio de la tarde.
5 A la hora del sacrificio me recobré de mi abatimiento y, con la túnica y el manto rasgados, caí de rodillas, extendí mis manos hacia el SEÑOR mi Dios,
6 y le dije en oración:«Dios mío, estoy confundido y siento vergüenza de levantar el rostro hacia ti, porque nuestras maldades se han amontonado hasta cubrirnos por completo; nuestra culpa ha llegado hasta el cielo.
