Old Testament
Ramiah
A descendant of Parosh who repented by putting away his foreign wife during the reforms of Ezra.
Ramiah is listed among the Israelites who confessed their sin of intermarriage with foreign women following the return from Babylonian exile. His inclusion in the record of Ezra 10 highlights the widespread nature of the covenant violation and the subsequent national commitment to spiritual purification. He represents the many individuals who submitted to the leadership of Ezra to restore the holiness of the community.
