Ezra 8:23

8:23 So we fasted and prayed to our God about this, and he answered us.

Ezra 10:12

10:12 All the assembly replied in a loud voice: “We will do just as you have said! ¹ 

Ezra 10:44

10:44 All these had taken foreign wives, and some of them also had children by these women. ² 

[10:12]  ¹ tn Heb “thus according to your word [singular = Qere] concerning us, to do.”

[10:44]  ² tc The final statement in v. 44 is difficult in terms of both its syntax and its meaning. The present translation attempts to make sense of the MT. But the passage may have undergone corruption in the transmission process. One proposal is that the text should be emended to read “and they sent these wives and children away” (cf. NAB, NRSV, TEV, CEV).
