SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:19

y dieron su mano en promesa de echar sus mujeres, y ofrecieron como culpados un carnero de los rebaños por su delito.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 10:19

Verse 19. They gave their hands] They bound themselves in the most solemn manner to do as the rest of the delinquents had done; and they made all acknowledgment of their iniquity to God by offering each a ram for a trespass-offering.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 19-43 . And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives , etc.] They proposed to do it, and actually did it: and being guilty ; of which they were fully convinced: they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass ; to make atonement for it, and thereby set an example to others to do the like. Aben Ezra observes, that we do not find that the trespass offering was a mulct to such who married strange wives, and conjectures, that it was the advice of the chief men to do it. From hence, to the end of ( Ezra 10:43), is a list of the men that had married strange wives, and put them away; those in ( Ezra 10:20-22), were priests; in ( Ezra 10:23,24), Levites, and those of them who were singers or porters; the rest were Israelites: and it is a very common distinction, in rabbinical writers, to distinguish the Jews into priests, Levites, and Israelites; of these we know no more than their names; some of the heads of the families may be observed in ( Ezra 2:1).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-44 - The best reformers can but do their endeavour; when the Redeeme himself shall come to Zion, he shall effectually turn away ungodlines from Jacob. And when sin is repented of and forsaken, God will forgiv it; but the blood of Christ, our Sin-offering, is the only atonemen which takes away our guilt. No seeming repentance or amendment wil benefit those who reject Him, for self-dependence proves them stil unhumbled. All the names written in the book of life, are those of penitent sinners, not of self-righteous persons, who think they have n need of repentance __________________________________________________________________
