Ezra 10:44 meaning and explanation
All these men had married foreign women, and some of them had children by these wives.
Ezra 10:44, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This closing verse sums up the long list of men, from priests and Levites to ordinary Israelites, who had married women from the surrounding peoples. The narrator notes plainly that some of these unions had produced children, which makes the decision recorded earlier in the chapter painfully concrete: households were being broken up, not just contracts ended.
