Malachi 2:10 *Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why then doth every one of us despise his brother, violating the covenant of our fathers?

Matthew 23:9.; Ephesians 4:6.
Brother, in distress, 2 Esdras 5:1. St. Jerome mentions the tradition of the Jews, which supposed that the captives at their return dismissed their wives, and married young ones, though strangers, ver. 11. But this is not probable. Such women were ordered to be dismissed, 1 Esdras 9:1., and 2 Esdras 13:23. (Calmet)
