Ezra 10:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Then Ezra got up and left the front of the house of God and went to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib and spent the night there.^[a] He did not eat any food or drink any water, because he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.

⁷ Then a proclamation was made throughout Judah and Jerusalem for all the exiles to gather in Jerusalem. ⁸ According to the decision of the officials and the elders, anyone who would not come within three days would forfeit all his property, and he would be banished from the community of the exiles.
