Verses 19-44

LIST OF THOSE WHO HAD TAKEN STRANGE WIVES, Ezra 10:18-44.

So important to the new community was the whole procedure, that the names of the implicated ones were chronicled, and immortalized in connexion with this sad affair. Ezra embodied the list in his own book as a testimony of his care for Israel, and here it still stands, a monument of his fidelity to the people of his God.

The list gives, 1) the names of the sons of the priests who had taken strange wives, Ezra 10:18-22; Ezra 2:0) the names of the Levites, Ezra 10:23; Ezra 3:0) the names of the singers, Ezra 10:24; Ezra 4:0) the names of non-official or ordinary Israelites, Ezra 10:25-43.
