Chapter 10 of Ezra talks about the restoration of the covenant of God with the people of Israel, after the discovery that many of the Jewish leaders had married foreign women, which was prohibited by God's law. The solution found was that these leaders should divorce these women in order to purify and reconcile with God. Here are five verses related to the topics covered in this chapter:

Deuteronomy 7:3-4: "Do not be united in marriage with them, and do not allow your children to marry their children, for they would deviate them to worship other gods. This would lead to the wrath of the Lord against you and would result in yours destruction quickly. " This verse relates to the theme of Ezra 10, as Jewish leaders had married foreign women, which was considered a violation of God's law.

Ezra 9:2: "They brought some of their daughters like wives to their children, and so the Holy Race was mixed with the foreign peoples who lived in that land. The Jewish leaders and authorities were the first to do this, and that if made a serious sin. " This verse shows how marriage to foreign women was considered a serious sin by Jewish leaders.

Malachi 2:11: "Judah has been unfaithful, and an abominable act was committed in Israel and Jerusalem. Judah profaned the Lord's sanctuary, whom he loves, and married the daughter of a foreign God." This verse relates to the theme of Ezra 10, as it shows how marriage to foreign women was considered a form of infidelity and a desecration of the sanctuary of God.

Ezra 10:3: "Therefore, let us now make a covenant with our God, to repudiate all these foreign women and their children, according to the counsel of my Lord and those who tremble before the commandments of our God. ! This verse shows how Jewish leaders have decided to repent and purify themselves, following God's law and repudiating foreign women.

1 Corinthians 7:39: "The wife is linked to her husband while he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone who wants, as long as it is in the Lord." This verse talks about the importance of marrying people who share the same faith and values, which is related to the theme of Ezra 10, as Jewish leaders were exhorted to divorce from foreign women and seek reconciliation with God.
