Ezra 10:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezra 10:6

4 Arise, for this matter is your responsibility. We also are with you. ^aBe of good courage, and do it.”

5 Then Ezra arose, and made the leaders of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel ^aswear an oath that they would do according to this word. So they swore an oath.

6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came there, he ^aate no bread and drank no water, for he mourned because of the guilt of those from the captivity.

7 And they issued a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they must gather at Jerusalem,

8 and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the instructions of the leaders and elders, all his property would be confiscated, and he himself would be separated from the assembly of those from the captivity.
