Ezra 10:33 Summary
Ezra 10:33 lists the names of leaders from the descendants of Hashum who were involved in the covenant renewal and confession of sin. This verse reminds us that we are all accountable for our actions and that we must take responsibility for our sins, as seen in (1 John 1:9). Just like the descendants of Hashum, we must be willing to confess our sins and separate from anything that is not pleasing to God, as instructed in (Deuteronomy 7:3-4). By doing so, we can maintain purity and obedience to God's commands and experience His forgiveness and restoration, as promised in (Psalm 51:7-12).

Gill's Exposition on Ezra 10:33
[See comments on Ezra 10:19].
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezra 10:33
(18-44) List of the transgressors. (19) They gave their hands.—The four members of the high priest’s family were peculiarly dealt with. They gave their distinct pledge, and offered each a special trespass offering. It is one among a multitude of similar tokens of authenticity in the history; and inventor would have given some reason for the peculiarity. (22) Pashur.—Comparing Ezra 2:36-39, we find that all the priestly families that returned with Zerub-babel were implicated in the national offence. (25) Of Israel.—Of the laity eighty-six are mentioned, belonging to ten races which returned with Zerubbabel. (34) Bani.—Probably this should be some other name, as Bani occurs before. The peculiarly large number of the representatives of his race suggests that there is some confusion in the present text. (44) All these had taken strange wives.—Though the numbers are not summed up and distributed, it is evident that this closing sentence is emphatic. Ezra ends his history with a catalogue of the delinquents—strong testimony to the importance he attached to the reformation.
The last words—literally, and there were of them wives who had brought forth children—tend in the same direction. Not even this pathetic fact restrained the thoroughness of the excision. But the Book of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 13:23 seq.) will show that it was thorough only for a time.
Cambridge Bible on Ezra 10:33
18–44. The List of those who ‘had married strange women’The record of the names was probably one of the documents officially preserved. The publicity of such a list was in itself a punishment to the offenders and a warning to others. As in chap. 2, the list falls into the three groups of Priests, Levites, and Israel (or Laity), i.e. 17 Priests, 10 Levites, 86 ‘of Israel’—113 in all.
