And he gave him his hand’. Eze 17:18<\/span> ‘And behold, he had given his hand, and yet hath done all these things’.

The sacrifice of a ram for a guilt offering is enjoined, ‘if anyone commit a trespass and sin unwittingly, in the holy things of the Lord’ (see Lev 5:14-19<\/span>). There is however no real reason for limiting the guilt offering to the priests. The passage from Leviticus makes no such restriction. It is probable that this verse represents the form of solemn renunciation imposed upon all the offenders, i.e. the promise and the guilt offering. It is mentioned after the first names on the list, and should be understood after each recorded group of names. The repetition of the formula was considered unnecessary.<\/p>\n being guilty<\/em> ] These words sound like the sentence of the commission, after investigating each case.<\/p>\n 20, 21, 22.<\/strong> The sons of Immer, Harim and Pashur. In Ezr 2:37-39<\/span> and Neh 7:40-42<\/span> the order of the names is Immer, Pashur and Harim. In 1Ch 24:8-14<\/span> ‘Harim’ is the third and Immer the sixteenth priestly course: see notes on Ezr 2:37<\/span>, &c.<\/p>\n Several of the names here mentioned occur in the lists of Nehemiah 8, 12<\/span>.<\/p>\n Verse 19.

The delinquents ofthe priestly order bound themselves to do like the common Israelites(Ezr 10:25<\/span>), and sought toexpiate their sin by sacrificing a ram as a trespass offering.<\/P><\/p>\n Ver. 19-43.

Aben Ezra observes, that we do not find that the trespass offering was a mulct to such who married strange wives, and conjectures, that it was the advice of the chief men to do it. From hence, to the end of Ezr 10:43<\/span>, is a list of the men that had married strange wives, and put them away; those in Ezr 10:20<\/span>, were priests; in Ezr 10:23<\/span>, Levites, and those of them who were singers or porters; the rest were Israelites: and it is a very common distinction, in rabbinical writers, to distinguish the Jews into priests, Levites, and Israelites; of these we know no more than their names; some of the heads of the families may be observed in Ezr 2:1<\/span>.<\/p>\n LIST OF THOSE WHO HAD TAKEN STRANGE WIVES, Ezr 10:18-44<\/span>.<\/p>\n So important to the new community was the whole procedure, that the names of the implicated ones were chronicled, and immortalized in connexion with this sad affair. Ezra embodied the list in his own book as a testimony of his care for Israel, and here it still stands, a monument of his fidelity to the people of his God.<\/p>\n The list gives, 1) the names of the sons of the priests who had taken strange wives, Ezr 10:18-22<\/span>; Ezra 2<\/span>) the names of the Levites, Ezr 10:23<\/span>; Ezra 3<\/span>) the names of the singers, Ezr 10:24<\/span>; Ezra 4<\/span>) the names of non-official or ordinary Israelites, Ezr 10:25-43<\/span>.<\/p>\n 19<\/strong>. <\/strong> Gave their hands <\/strong> As a solemn form of indicating their acceptance of the covenant, (Ezr 10:3<\/span>,) and of binding themselves to put away their wives<\/strong>.
