Mattithiah Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Mattithiah was a man from the family of Nebo who had married a foreign woman during the time of Ezra. As part of Ezra's reforms to purify the Jewish community after their return from Babylonian exile, Mattithiah and others who had married foreign wives were required to divorce them (Ezr 10:43). This action was taken to ensure that the Israelites remained faithful to the Lord and did not fall into the same sins that had led to their exile.
