Ezra 10:35 (KJV)

What does Ezra 10:35 mean?

Ezra 10:35 names three men: Benaiah, Bedeiah, and Chelluh. They appear in a list of Israelite men identified as having married foreign women, marriages that the people had agreed to address.

The list places these three men among the descendants of Bani, a family group named in verse 34. The names continue across several verses, so verse 35 is part of a longer record rather than a sentence spoken by one of the men.
