וַיַּעַן שְׁכַנְיָה בֶן־יְחִיאֵל מִבְּנֵי (עולם) [עֵילָם] וַיֹּאמֶר לְעֶזְרָא אֲנַחְנוּ מָעַלְנוּ בֵאלֹהֵינוּ וַנֹּשֶׁב נָשִׁים נׇכְרִיּוֹת מֵעַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וְעַתָּה יֵשׁ־מִקְוֶה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־זֹֽאת׃
And Shechanyah the son of Yechiel of the sons of Eilam called out and said to Ezra: We have been faithless to our G-d and have taken into our houses foreign women of the peoples of the land. But now, there is hope for Israel for this [i.e., We can send away these women and the children born of them.]

וְעַתָּה נִֽכְרׇת־בְּרִית לֵאלֹהֵינוּ לְהוֹצִיא כׇל־נָשִׁים וְהַנּוֹלָד מֵהֶם בַּעֲצַת אֲדֹנָי וְהַחֲרֵדִים בְּמִצְוַת אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְכַתּוֹרָה יֵעָשֶֽׂה׃ {פ}
