Ezra 10:2 in Context — Ezra 10

1 Pendant qu’Esdras, pleurant et prosterné devant la maison de Dieu, faisait cette prière et cette confession, il s’était rassemblé auprès de lui une foule très nombreuse de gens d’Israël, hommes, femmes et enfants, et le peuple répandait d’abondantes larmes.

2 Alors Schecania, fils de Jehiel, d’entre les fils d’Élam, prit la parole et dit à Esdras: Nous avons péché contre notre Dieu, en nous alliant à des femmes étrangères qui appartiennent aux peuples du pays. Mais Israël ne reste pas pour cela sans espérance.

3 Faisons maintenant une alliance avec notre Dieu pour le renvoi de toutes ces femmes et de leurs enfants, selon l’avis de mon seigneur et de ceux qui tremblent devant les commandements de notre Dieu. Et que l’on agisse d’après la loi.

4 Lève-toi, car cette affaire te regarde. Nous serons avec toi. Prends courage et agis.
