STEPBible TIPNR
Shimeon is mentioned in Ezr 10:31 as one of the Israelites who had married foreign women during the Babylonian exile. After the return to Jerusalem, Ezra the scribe led a religious reform that required the Israelites to separate themselves from their foreign wives to maintain the purity of the nation. Shimeon, along with several other Israelites, was found to have married a foreign woman. As part of the reform, Shimeon agreed to send away his foreign wife, demonstrating his commitment to following God's law and maintaining the religious and cultural identity of the Israelites.
