Ezra 10:22, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This verse falls within a list of men who had married foreign women, a matter Ezra treated as covenant unfaithfulness after the return from exile. Pashhur was a priestly family name, so these six men, Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad and Elasah, belonged to the priesthood and were held to a stricter standard because they served at the temple.
