Context — Ezra's Confession of Singenerated

12Now, therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Never seek their peace or prosperity, so that you may be strong and may eat the good things of the land, leaving it as an inheritance to your sons forever.’
13After all that has come upon us because of our evil deeds and our great guilt (though You, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve and have given us such a remnant as this),
14shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who commit these abominations? Would You not become so angry with us as to wipe us out, leaving no remnant or survivor?
15O LORD, God of Israel, You are righteous! For we remain this day as a remnant. Here we are before You in our guilt, though because of it no one can stand before You.”

Ezra 9:13 reflects Ezra's heartfelt confession regarding the sins of Israel. He acknowledges the evil deeds and great guilt that have led to their suffering, while also recognizing God's mercy in punishing them less than they deserve. Ezra's prayer emphasizes the importance of repentance and the hope found in God's grace, as they have been given a remnant to continue their heritage.

The Key Word עָוֹן, avongenerated

The Hebrew word עָוֹן (*avon*) refers to iniquity, guilt, or the punishment associated with wrongdoing. It encompasses moral evil and the consequences of sin, highlighting the severity of Israel's actions.

In this verse, it emphasizes the depth of Israel's guilt, which is contrasted with God's mercy in sparing them from the full measure of their deserved punishment.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

Translations generally agree on the meaning of עָוֹן, using terms like iniquity (BSB, KJV, ASV) and guilt (YLT, WEB, BBE).


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb in the verse is בָּ֣א, has come, which governs the entire clause. This is followed by a series of prepositional and noun phrases that elaborate on the circumstances surrounding Israel's situation.

The structure emphasizes the cause of their predicament — their evil deeds and great guilt — while also introducing God's response, creating a contrast between human failure and divine mercy.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, the Hebrew עָוֹן is rendered as ἀνομίας (*anomias*), which translates to 'lawlessness' or 'transgression.' This choice reflects a broader interpretation of sin as a violation of divine law.

This interpretation may suggest a deeper understanding of the nature of Israel's guilt, emphasizing not just the act of wrongdoing but the rebellion against God's established order.

Then, amidst the solemnities of the sacrifice, he uttered the prayer which he had been meditating. (6) And said, O my God.—The confession begins with “O my God;” but Ezra is the representative of the people, and it proceeds “O our God” (Ezra 9:10), without once returning to the first person.

6–15. Ezra’s PrayerEzra’s prayer, as a confession of national sin, should be compared with the prayer of the Levites (Nehemiah 9:6-38), and more especially with the prayer of Daniel (Daniel 9:4-19). As in the confession of Daniel, the personality of the speaker is merged in that of the nation, The sin of the race no less than its shame and its punishment is acknowledged in the ‘we’, ‘our’, and ‘us’. The self-abnegation and love of Ezra as of Moses (Exodus 32:32), and of Paul (Romans 9:3), accept the obligations of nationality as the source of guilt as well as on privilege to the individual. The general plan of the confession resembles that of Daniel. It consists of (1) general confession…

ev'-'-l, e'-vil ra`; poneros, @kakos, @kakon:

In the Bible it is represented as moral and physical. We choose to discuss the subject under these heads. Many of the evils that come upon men have not been intended by those who suffer for them. Disease, individual and national calamity, drought, scarcity of food, may not always be charged to the account of intentional wrong. Many times the innocent suffer with, and even for, the guilty. In such cases, only physical evil is apparent. Even when the suffering has been occasioned by sin or dereliction of duty, whether the wrong is active or passive, many, perhaps the majority of those who are injured, are not accountable in any way for the ills which come upon them. Neither is God the author of moral evil. "God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man" (Jas 1:13).
