The dissolving of marriages in Ezra 9-10 and Nehemiah 13 revisited
The 'harsh' decision in Ezra 10:1-44 and Nehemiah 13:23-31 to terminate marriages with 'foreign' women falls strange on modern ears. This article reads these sections against the background of identity formation in Ezra-Nehemiah. It is proposed that these two passages should be studied on more than just one level. It states that synchronic, literary-redactional and socio-historical methods are to be combined in an effort to better understand why marriages were dissolved in Ezra and Nehemiah.
