STEPBible TIPNR
Joseph is mentioned in Ezr 10:42 as one of the Israelites who had married foreign women during the post-exilic period. After the return from Babylonian captivity, Ezra the scribe led a religious reform in Jerusalem (Ezra 7-10). It was discovered that many Israelites, including priests and Levites, had intermarried with the pagan peoples of the land, which was contrary to God's law (Ezr 9:1-2; Deu 7:3). Ezra prayed and confessed the sins of the people (Ezr 9:3-15), and the Israelites made a covenant to put away their foreign wives and children (Ezr 10:1-5). Joseph was among those listed who had taken foreign wives (Ezr 10:42).
