Ezra9-10, Commonly known as intermarriage crisis or force divorce of foreign wives, has attracted a wide variety of interpretations of the dismissal of foreign wives. Some of the proposed rationales include political, social economic and ethnic purity. Such rationales while having their own merits, are not evidenced in the text. this article offers a literary reexamination of what the text portrays about the protagonist group's motivation to take such stringent action. The protagonist's strong self perception is the main factor behind their negative perception of the antagonist "others" and thus its stringent resolution to deal with foreign wives.
