Ezra 10:25 (KJV)

What does Ezra 10:25 mean?

Ezra 10:25 lists several men from the family of Parosh who are identified as part of a group within Israel. These names are recorded as part of a public record of those who had taken foreign wives, which was a concern addressed during Ezra’s reforms.

In this chapter, Ezra is leading the returned exiles in Jerusalem to confess and correct actions that went against the law of Moses, specifically intermarriage with surrounding peoples. This verse is part of a longer list naming individuals from different families who were involved, showing the thoroughness and seriousness with which the community addressed the issue.
