Ezra 10:18-44
Compare with the list in Ezra 2.
Ezra 10:19
They gave their hands - i. e., "solemnly pledged themselves" (compare the marginal references).
Ezra 10:44
The guilty persons, it would seem, were 113 in number. They comprised 4 members of the high priest' s family, 13 other priests, 10 Levites, and 86 lay Israelites belonging to at least 10 distinct families. The fact noted in the second clause of the verse must have increased the difficulity of Ezra' s task.
