The Jewish families assemble at Jerusalem to do as their leaders suggest, that is, to send their Gentile wives and children away. Four of the Jewish men oppose this decision. Their names are Jonathan son of Asahel, Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, Meshullam, and Shabbethai the Levite. (Ezra 10:15).
I feel sorry for those sent away. I wonder if those divorcing their Gentile wives did the right thing and how they may have felt about their decisions throughout the remainders of their lifetimes.
