While Ezra prays before God’s house, Shecaniah the son of Jehiel answers Ezra

에스라가 하나님의 전 앞에 엎드려 기도할 때에 여히엘의 아들 스가냐가 말함

Ezra 10:1–4: while Ezra prays and makes confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, there is gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people weep very bitterly. Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answers Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing. Now therefore let’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and those who are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law. Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.” 10:1 gives no words of the prayer and the confession. The Korean Revised Version tells first that the people wept very bitterly (많은 백성이 심히 통곡하매) and reads 그 앞에 (before him) where WEB reads “to him” (10:1); at 10:3 it reads 내 주의 교훈을 좇으며 (following the teaching of my lord) and gives the covenant after the counsel.
