Ezra 10:18-22

Priests

18. that had taken strange wives R.V. that had married strange women: the R.V. puts a colon after -women", and a comma after -brethren". The -Jeshua the son of Jozadak" here mentioned is clearly the High-priest, the contemporary of Zerubbabel. In chap. Ezra 2:36 we have mention of -the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three". It is to the house of Jedaiah that these four priests belonged; for in that passage as in this, the houses of Immer, Harim and Pashur are mentioned immediately afterwards. Whether Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib and Gedaliah were grandsons or only kinsmen of Jeshua the son of Jozadak we are not told.
