Commentary on Ezra 10:20

Theological / Devotional

The sons of Immer. On the priestly families, see Ezra 2:36-39. Including those of the high-priestly family (v. 18), altogether 17 priests are mentioned as guilty. A comparison of these names with those given in Ezra 2 reveals the fact that not one of the legitimate orders of priests who returned with Zerubbabel was free from guilt in this matter. Some of the names given in verses 20-22 reappear in the lists of Nehemiah 8:4 and Nehemiah 10:2-9, and may indicate the same individuals.
