The Bible record tells us that he ‘ ripped apart his garment and his sleeveless coat and pulled out some of the hair of his head and of his beard and kept sitting stunned until the evening. ’
Piibel ütleb, et Esra ’ käristas lõhki oma riided ja ülikuue, katkus oma juukseid ja habet ning istus masendunult ’ õhtuni.
