The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 10:4
This matter belongeth unto thee. Ezra's commission was to "let judgment be executed on those who would not do the law of God" ( Ezra 7:26 ), and so to constrain them to obedience. It was therefore his place to inquire into the serious matter brought before him, and set it right. We will be with thee . We, the "very great congregation" which had gathered around Ezra, and of whom Shechaniah was the spokesman, undertake to be with thee, and support thee, in the steps which thou takest in... read more

Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests … to swear . Rather, " made the princes, the priests, etc. to swear" LXX .). That they would do according to this word . That they would act in the matter as Shechaniah had recommended, and put away the idolatrous wives. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 10:6
EZRA 'S FAST ( Ezra 10:6 ). Matters having reached this point, the covenant having been made, and the only question remaining for consideration being how the decision come to should be carried out, Ezra "rose up," and withdrew himself for a time from the people, entering into one of the side chambers of the temple, and secluding himself there. The guilt of his brethren still pressed heavily on his spirit, and he continued the mourning which he had commenced as soon as it came to his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 10:6-12
A national call. We have traced before the probable influence of Ezra's piety and instructions; how they seem to have aroused the national conscience, and so to have brought to light the secret national sin; and how they afterwards brought together so many of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, first to grieve for it, and then to renounce it, and resolve to suppress it. But these men, however influential, were only a fractional part of the nation. If their resolves were to be carried out... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 10:6-44
The reformations. Roused by the speech of Shechaniah to the work of reformation, Ezra promptly took his measures. These are set forth in the words before us. The consideration of the subject may be conveniently arranged under three heads, viz.— I. THE PROCLAMATION . 1. This was drawn up in the temple (verses 6, 7). 2. Its measures were strong and peremptory. (3) There was also a civil penalty, viz; "that all his substance should be forfeited." The Hebrew for... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezra 10:6
The “chamber of Johanan” was probably one of those attached externally to the temple (see 1 Kings 6:5-6). Eliashib was the grandson of Jeshua Ezra 3:2, and was high priest under Nehemiah Nehemiah 3:1. He could assign chambers in the temple to whomever he pleased (see Nehemiah 13:4-5). read more

Ezra 10:4-5. Arise, for this matter belongeth unto thee Who hast a perfect knowledge of the law, and full power from the king of Persia to see every thing done according to it; and who hast most skill to manage this matter. We also will be with thee: be of good courage He promises him his assistance, and that of many other principal persons, which might give him confidence of success. Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, &c ., to swear He admonished them of their duty in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezra 10:6
Ezra 10:6. Then rose up Ezra from before the house This seems to imply that he made them swear before he would rise up; and went into the chamber of Johanan That, with the princes and elders, he might consult about the execution of their resolution. And when he came thither The word when is not in the Hebrew: the clause, therefore, had better be translated, Till he came thither; that is, till he saw something done, he ate nothing. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 10:1-8
Things exceptional. Human life is a river which flows evenly along from day to day; but it is a river like the Zambesi or the Congo (Livingstone), not without its rapids and its falls. Usually it flows silently, but sometimes it dashes along with impetuosity and uproar. So is it with our Christian life, with our religious course. There are things exceptional as well as things ordinary and regular, for which room must be made by ourselves and allowance by other people. There may be, as here... read more
