Bible Commentary

Ezra 10:12

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

As thou hast said: They all resolved to do what Ezra had commanded; and they did put away their wives, even those by whom they had children (Ezra 10:44), each of whom doubtless received a portion according to the circumstances of her husband, and was not turned away desolate. Humanity must have dictated this, and no law of God is contrary to humanity.

so must we do: Ezra 10:3-4; Nehemiah 13:23; Psalms 78:37, Psalms 78:57
