Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezra 10:1-44
Chapter 10But here a very stringent and harsh measure was taken. They put away all of these wives, and they said unto him with a loud voice,As thou hast said, so must we do ( Ezra 10:12 ).They realized that it was a divine imperative. We must do it. It seems cruel. It seems harsh. But it had to be done if they were going to survive. It was a matter now of survival. So they took this cruel, harsh measure, put away all the wives and the children and separated themselves again unto God. And since... read more

Ezra 10:1-25Now when Ezra had prayed.Prayer and confessionThe former chapter did set down the humiliation of Ezra; this demonstrates the fruit and effect that it produced. When the people saw that he was so affected and afflicted, and that not so much for his own sins as for the sins of the people, they take it to heart. And first, there is a very great assembly gathered together; secondly, they weep sore; thirdly, one particular person, Shechaniah by name, confesseth the sins of the people;... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezra 10:18-44
The Names Of Those Involved In Marrying Idolatrous Foreign Women (Ezra 10:18-44 ). Ezra then prepared for Artaxerxes, the king of Persia, a list of those with whom he had had to deal.
