16. But the Banim of the Golus did so. And Ezra HaKohen selected anashim who were Rashei HaAvot for each of their father's households, all of them by shemot. So they convened on the first day of the tenth month to investigate the matter.
17. And they finished investigating all men who had married foreign women by the 1st day of the 1st month.
18. And among the Bnei HaKohanim who had married foreign women were found of the Bnei Yeshua ben Yotzadak, and his brothers; Ma'aseiyah, Eliezer, Yariv, and Gedalyah.
19. And they pledged to put away their women, and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their asham.
20. And of the Bnei Immer there were Chanani and Zevadyah;
21. and of the Bnei of Charim; Ma'aseiyah, Eliyah, Shemayah, Yechiel, and Uzziyah;
22. and of the Bnei of Pashchur; Elyoeinai, Ma'aseiyah, Yishmael, Netanel, Yozavad, and Elasah.
