Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then arose Ezra,.... From the ground where he lay:

and made the chief priests, and the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word: he took an oath of all that were present to do what was proposed, namely, to put away strange wives and their children:

and they sware; by means of which they were kept to their word of promise, an oath being a solemn, sacred, thing.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezra 10:5. And they sware. — The thing was evidently contrary to the law of God; and now he bound them by an oath to rectify the abuse.
