மல்கியா (Ezr 10:25a)

பற்றி · About

Malchijah was a man from the family of Parosh who had married a foreign woman during the time of Ezra. As part of Ezra's reforms to purify the Jewish community, Malchijah and others who had married foreign wives were required to divorce them (Ezr.10.25). The presence of two similar men in the same verse named Malchijah in this list either indicates that it was a common name during this period, or a scribal error.
