Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

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, Ezra 10:4, Nehemiah 13:23, Psalms 78:37, Psalms 78:57

Reciprocal: Leviticus 5:5 - confess Nehemiah 5:12 - We will restore

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice,.... That they might be heard, and to show that they were willing and ready to comply with what was proposed:

as thou host said, so must we do; being convinced of their sin, they saw it was a duty incumbent on them to put away their strange wives, and that there was a necessity of it, to avert the wrath of God from them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 12. As thou hast said, so must we do. — They all resolved to do what Ezra then commanded, they did put away their wives, even those by whom they had children; Ezra 10:44: this was a great hardship on the women and children. Though by the Jewish laws such marriages were null and void, yet as the women they had taken did not know these laws, their case was deplorable. However, we may take it for granted that each of them received a portion according to the circumstances of their husbands, and that they and their children were not turned away desolate, but had such a provision as their necessities required. Humanity must have dictated this, and no law of God is contrary to humanity. After all, there is some room to doubt whether they did put them finally away, for several years after Nehemiah found Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab; Nehemiah 13:23. And if these were not the same women, we find that the same offense was continued.
