Notes

Ezra 10:8

according to the counsel of the leaders and elders: It was reasonable for Ezra to add this exception. Some people might not be able to come to Jerusalem to help settle this matter.

Ezra 9:1–10:44

Ezra addressed the issue of marrying idol-worshipping foreigners. The Jewish leaders had permitted this practice, even though the early settlers had promised to stay away from pagan influences (Ezra 4:1–5). Ezra prayed for the nation and assisted those who felt guilty about their sins to correct their actions.
