Gill's Notes on the Bible

For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sorts,.... Some that were widowers not only took wives to themselves of the above nations, either when they were of Babylon, where many of these nations also were, or rather since their return; but they took for their sons also; yea, some that had wives took Heathenish ones to them, see Malachi 2:13,

so that the holy seed; such as the Lord had separated from other nations, chosen them to be an holy people above all others, and devoted them to his service and worship:

have mingled themselves with the people of those lands; before mentioned, by marrying with them:

yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass; they were the first that went into it, were ringleaders of it, who should by their authority and example have restrained others; or they were

in this first trespass i; which was the first gross and capital one the people fell into after their return from the captivity.

i במעל הזה רשאנה "in praevaricatione ista prima", Pagninus, Montanus.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezra 9:2. Hath been chief in this trespass. — They who are the first men have been the most capital offenders; so VIRGIL, AEn. ix. 783: -

Unus homo, vestris, o cives, undique septus

Aggeribus, tantas strages impune per urbem

Ediderit? Juvenum primos tot miserit orco?

"Shall one, and he enclosed within your walls,

One rash imprisoned warrior, vanquish all?

Calm you look on, and see the furious foe

Plunge crowds of heroes to the shades below!"

PITT.


The first of the Trojan youth were the chief, the most illustrious; so we say the first men of the kingdom for the nobles, &c.
