Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping,.... Had confessed the sins of the people in prayer and supplication, with many tears:

and casting himself down before the house of God; in the outward court before the temple, his face turned towards it, where he lay prostrate:

there assembled to him out of Israel a very great congregation of men, and women, and children; it was quickly spread abroad, both in Jerusalem and places adjacent, that such a great man, a commissioner from the king of Persia, and a priest of the Jews, was in the utmost distress, rending his garments, and plucking off his hair, and was crying and praying in a vehement manner; which brought a great concourse of people, who concluded some great sins were committed, and sore judgments were coming upon them:

for the people wept very sore; being affected with his confessions, cries, and tears, and fearing wrath would come upon them for their sins.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Before the house of God - i. e., in front of the temple, praying toward it 1Ki 8:30, 1 Kings 8:35; Daniel 6:10, and thus in the sight of all the people who happened at the time to be in the great court.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER X

The people are greatly afflicted by Ezra's prayer, 1.

Shechaniah proposes that all who have taken strange wives

should put them away, and the children they had by them; and

make a covenant to serve God, 2-4.

Ezra is encouraged; and make a proclamation to collect the

people, to find who had transgressed, 5-8.

They come together on the twentieth day of the ninth month, 9.

Ezra exhorts them to put away their strange wives, 10.

The people agree to it, and require time, 11-14.

This being granted, the business is completed by the first of

the first month, 15-17.

Some of the priests had taken strange wives; their names, and

the names of all who were in the same trespass, 18-44.

NOTES ON CHAP. X

Verse Ezra 10:1. The people wept very sore. — They were deeply affected at the thought of God's displeasure, which they justly feared was about to light upon them, because of their transgressions.
