Shecaniah (son of Jehiel)

스가냐 (여히엘의 아들)

Named at Ezra 10:2 as the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam. At 10:1–2, while Ezra prays and makes confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, a very great assembly is gathered together to him out of Israel, and “Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra”. His words at 10:2–4 are, “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.”
