Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Ezra the priest stood up, and said--Having fully represented the enormity of their sin and urged them to dissolve their unlawful connections, he was gratified by receiving a prompt acknowledgment of the justice of his reproof and a promise of compliance with his recommendation. But as the weather was ungenial and the defaulters were too numerous to be passed in review at one time, it was resolved that a commission should be appointed to examine into the whole matter. These commissioners, assisted by the judges and elders of the respective cities, made a minute investigation into every case, and after three months' labor completely removed all traces of the abuse. Doubtless, an adequate provision was made for the repudiated wives and children, according to the means and circumstances of the husbands. |
Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
Ezra then stood up and reproved the assembled multitude, saying: You have brought home (הושׁיב, comp. Ezr 10:2) strange wives to increase the trespass of Israel (comp. Ezra's confession, Ezr 9:6-15), and exhorted them to give glory to God and to do His pleasure, (viz.) to separate themselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives. On תודה תּנוּ, comp. Jos 7:19. Separation from the people of the land consisted, under the circumstances, in the dismissal of the strange wives. |
19 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto Achan [05912], My son [01121], give [07760], I pray thee, glory [03519] to the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], and make [05414] confession [08426] unto him; and tell [05046] me now what thou hast done [06213]; hide [03582] it not from me.
6 And said [0559], O my God [0430], I am ashamed [0954] and blush [03637] to lift up [07311] my face [06440] to thee, my God [0430]: for our iniquities [05771] are increased [07235] over [04605] our head [07218], and our trespass [0819] is grown up [01431] unto the heavens [08064].
7 Since the days [03117] of our fathers [01] have we been in a great [01419] trespass [0819] unto this day [03117]; and for our iniquities [05771] have we, our kings [04428], and our priests [03548], been delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the kings [04428] of the lands [0776], to the sword [02719], to captivity [07628], and to a spoil [0961], and to confusion [01322] of face [06440], as it is this day [03117].
8 And now for a little [04592] space [07281] grace [08467] hath been shewed from the LORD [03068] our God [0430], to leave [07604] us a remnant to escape [06413], and to give [05414] us a nail [03489] in his holy [06944] place [04725], that our God [0430] may lighten [0215] our eyes [05869], and give [05414] us a little [04592] reviving [04241] in our bondage [05659].
9 For we were bondmen [05650]; yet our God [0430] hath not forsaken [05800] us in our bondage [05659], but hath extended [05186] mercy [02617] unto us in the sight [06440] of the kings [04428] of Persia [06539], to give [05414] us a reviving [04241], to set up [07311] the house [01004] of our God [0430], and to repair [05975] the desolations [02723] thereof, and to give [05414] us a wall [01447] in Judah [03063] and in Jerusalem [03389].
10 And now, O our God [0430], what shall we say [0559] after [0310] this? for we have forsaken [05800] thy commandments [04687],
11 Which thou hast commanded [06680] by [03027] thy servants [05650] the prophets [05030], saying [0559], The land [0776], unto which ye go [0935] to possess [03423] it, is an unclean [05079] land [0776] with the filthiness [05079] of the people [05971] of the lands [0776], with their abominations [08441], which have filled [04390] it from one end [06310] to another [06310] with their uncleanness [02932].
12 Now therefore give [05414] not your daughters [01323] unto their sons [01121], neither take [05375] their daughters [01323] unto your sons [01121], nor seek [01875] their peace [07965] or their wealth [02896] for [05704] ever [05769]: that ye may be strong [02388], and eat [0398] the good [02898] of the land [0776], and leave it for an inheritance [03423] to your children [01121] for ever [05769].
13 And after [0310] all that is come [0935] upon us for our evil [07451] deeds [04639], and for our great [01419] trespass [0819], seeing that thou our God [0430] hast punished [02820] us less [04295] than our iniquities [05771] deserve, and hast given [05414] us such deliverance [06413] as this;
14 Should we again [07725] break [06565] thy commandments [04687], and join in affinity [02859] with the people [05971] of these abominations [08441]? wouldest not thou be angry [0599] with us till thou hadst consumed [03615] us, so that there should be no remnant [07611] nor escaping [06413]?
15 O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], thou art righteous [06662]: for we remain [07604] yet escaped [06413], as it is this day [03117]: behold, we are before [06440] thee in our trespasses [0819]: for we cannot stand [05975] before [06440] thee because of this.
2 And Shechaniah [07935] the son [01121] of Jehiel [03171], one of the sons [01121] of Elam [05867], answered [06030] and said [0559] unto Ezra [05830], We have trespassed [04603] against our God [0430], and have taken [03427] strange [05237] wives [0802] of the people [05971] of the land [0776]: yet now there is [03426] hope [04723] in Israel [03478] concerning this thing.
