And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God,
Y a la hora del sacrificio de la tarde, me levanté de mi profunda tristeza y dolor. Había rasgado mis vestidos y mi manto en angustia, y caí de rodillas y alcé mis manos al SEÑOR mi Dios.
Esdras se postró ante Dios con profundo dolor y arrepentimiento a la hora del sacrificio vespertino.
📚 Contexto Histórico
During the post-exilic period when the Jewish people had returned to Jerusalem from captivity in Babylon, Ezra, a priest and scribe, was deeply troubled by the widespread intermarriage between the returned exiles and the surrounding nations, which violated God's commands in the Law. This sin was seen as a threat to the spiritual purity and covenant faithfulness of Israel, prompting Ezra to express profound grief and repentance. In this moment, he performed traditional acts of mourning like tearing his clothes before turning to prayer at the evening sacrifice.
