Context — Ezra's Call to Actiongenerated

3So now let us make a covenant before our God to send away all the foreign wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the command of our God. Let it be done according to the Law.
4Get up, for this matter is your responsibility, and we will support you. Be strong and take action!”
5So Ezra got up and made the leading priests, Levites, and all Israel take an oath to do what had been said. And they took the oath.
6Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God and walked to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. And while he stayed there, he ate no food and drank no water, because he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.

Ezra 10:4 captures Ezra's urgent call to the people, emphasizing their responsibility to address the issue of foreign wives. This moment reflects a pivotal decision in Israel's history, as Ezra seeks to restore faithfulness among the exiles. The surrounding verses illustrate the seriousness of the situation, with Ezra leading the community in a covenant to act according to God's commands.

The Key Word ק֛וּם, kumgenerated

The Hebrew word קוּם (kum) is a verb in the imperative form, meaning 'to arise' or 'to stand up.' It carries a sense of urgency and action, calling for a response to a pressing situation. This word is often used in contexts of leadership and mobilization, as seen in other parts of the Hebrew Bible.

In this verse, קוּם emphasizes the need for the community to take a stand and fulfill their responsibilities. The imperative form indicates that Ezra is not merely suggesting, but commanding action, which is critical in the context of communal decision-making.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The translations agree on the imperative nature of the command to get up (BSB, KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, BBE).


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb ק֛וּם (kum) governs the entire verse, with several phrases detailing the responsibilities and actions expected of the community. The structure emphasizes the call to rise and act.

The sentence is constructed with a clear command followed by explanations of responsibility and support, creating a cohesive call to action.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates ק֛וּם as ἀνάστα (anastē), which also means 'to arise.' This choice maintains the imperative sense of the Hebrew, reinforcing the urgency of Ezra's command.

The use of ἀνάστα in the Septuagint aligns closely with the Hebrew intent, emphasizing the need for action and leadership in the community.
