lord, and of those that
tremble
at the commandment

carried
away
.

yourselves
from the people
of the land, and from the strange wives
.

Then
all the congregation
answered
and said
with a loud
voice, As
thou
hast
said,
so
must
we
do .
And
all the assembly
answer
and say
`
with '
a great
voice, `Right;

to
thy
word
--
on
us
to
do ;
But the people are many, and it is a
time of much
rain
, and we
are
not
able
to stand without, neither
is
this
a
work of
one day or
two :
for we are
many
that
have transgressed
in this thing.
but the people `
are '
many, and `
it is '
the
time of showers
, and there
is
no
power
to stand without, and
the
work `is'
not
for
one day ,
nor
for
two ,
for we have multiplied
to
transgress
in this thing.
Let now
our rulers
of all the congregation
stand, and let
all them
which
have
taken
strange
wives
in our cities come at appointed
times, and with them the elders of every
city, and the
judges thereof
, until
the fierce
wrath of our God for
this
matter
be
turned
from us.
`
Let ,
we
pray
thee,
our heads
of all the assembly
stand, and all who
`are'
in our cities ,
who
have
settled
strange
wives,
do
come in
at the
times appointed
, and with them the elders of city and
city
, and its
judges, till
the turning
back
of
the
fury
of
the
wrath of our God from us ,

this
thing
. '
