What does Ezra 10:14 mean?
Let now our rulers of all the congregations
stand
Let the great sanhedrim, or court of judicature at Jerusalem, be
fixed and continued, and others:
and let all them which have taken strange wives in our
cities come at
appointed times;
to the court at Jerusalem, at certain and fixed known times of
their sittings there for this purpose:
and with the elders of every city and the judges
thereof;
the principal magistrates of it, who were to testify that upon
search and inquiry those were the men and all the men in their
city, that had taken strange wives, and that they had put them
away according to the order of the princes and elders; and this
they proposed to be done in every city, and the account to be
brought to the sanhedrim at Jerusalem, who were to sit at certain
times till this affair was finished:
until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned
from us:
which it seems had broke out in some instances, and they feared
would do yet more, unless this step was taken, whereby they hoped
it would be averted.
