Ezr 10:44 — All these had taken strange wives: and [some] of them had wives by whom they had children.
Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

strange wives   Pro 2:16; Pro 5:3,20
and some of them   "This observation was probably intended to shew that only a few of them had children, and also how rigorously the law was put in execution. According to a passage in Justin Martyr's Dialogue with Trypho, a Jew, Ezra offered a paschal lamb on this occasion, and addressed the people thus: ""And Ezra said to the people, This pass-over is our Saviour and our Refuge; and if ye will be persuaded of it, and let it enter into your hearts, that we are to humble to Him in a sign, and afterwards shall believe in Him, this place shall not be destroyed for ever, saith the LORD of hosts; but, if ye will not believe in Him, nor hearken to his preaching, ye shall be a laughing-stock to the Gentiles."" This was probably a marginal note added by some early Christian."
