Ezra 10:15-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ Only Jehonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah stood against this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai supported them.

¹⁶ The returned exiles^[a] did so. Ezra the priest selected men, the heads of the families^[b] according to the house of their fathers, all of them by name. They sat down to examine the matter on the first day of the tenth month. ¹⁷ They finished investigating all the men who married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
