Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezra 9:1-15

Ezra Deals With The Problem Of Returnees Who Have Been Led Astray Into Idolatry Having Taken Foreign Wives (Ezra 9:1 to Ezra 10:44 ). It is important here to recognise that what was in question was not the taking of foreign wives who willingly turned away from all false gods and became worshippers of YHWH, but the problem of taking foreign wives who introduced their false gods and ideas into the worship of Israel. This is specifically brought out in Ezra 9:1-2; Ezra 9:11-12. It was as a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezra 9:5-15

Ezra’s Admission Of Israel’s Guilt Before YHWH On Behalf Of The People (Ezra 9:5-15 ). When the time of the evening sacrifice came, no doubt feeling that this act of atonement and dedication on the behalf of the whole of Israel was a suitable time , Ezra then rose from his sitting position and fell on his knees with his arms spread out towards YHWH. This presumably indicated spreading out his hands towards the sanctuary. And then he confessed before YHWH the sin of the people in the face of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezra 9:1-15

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.] We now come to the social and religious reformation effected by Ezra amongst the Jews who had previously returned to their own land (chaps. 9 and 10). And in this chapter we have—(i.) The complaint of the princes to Ezra concerning the mingling of the people of Israel with the idolatrous people of the lands (Ezra 9:1-2). (ii.) The great amazement and grief of Ezra because of this (Ezra 9:3-4). (iii.) The confession and prayer of Ezra for the people of Israel... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezra 9:1-15

Chapter 9Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezra 9:1-15

Ezra 9:2 . The holy seed have mingled with the people. The distinction of the Jews from the heathen was not by nature, but by grace. Their nobility lay in adherence to the covenant of God, and so they became his sons and daughters. Therefore to marry with idolaters was a total breach, and caused Ezekiel to call them descendants of the Amorites: chap. 16. The idolaters must first be proselyted to righteousness, and their household baptised; then the Jews, but not the priests, might marry... read more
