Ezra 10

1 witness of Christ here, and 1 further echo from the reading.

Jehovah

Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives. Ezra 10:11

Repentance begins with confessing to Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who is the premortal Jesus Christ, and then doing His will.

Trespass Offering

And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass. Ezra 10:19

The guilty priests bring a ram as a trespass offering, just as the law required. The trespass offering pointed to Jesus Christ, whom Isaiah says would make His own soul "an offering for sin" (the Hebrew word there is the trespass offering).
