Ezra 10:17 In-Context

15 Only Jonathan son of Asahel, Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, Meshullam, and Shabbethai the Levite were against the plan.

16 So the returned captives did what was suggested. Ezra the priest chose men who were leaders of the family groups and named one from each family division. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to study each case.

17 By the first day of the first month, they had finished with all the men who had married non-Jewish women.

18 These are the descendants of the priests who had married foreign women: From the descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak and Jeshua's brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.

19 (They all promised to divorce their wives, and each one brought a male sheep from the flock as a penalty offering.)
