Ezra withdraws and a three-day summons goes out

6Then Ezra rose from before the house of God and went to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. He went there and ate no bread and drank no water, because he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.

7And they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the sons of the exile, that they should gather in Jerusalem.

8And everyone who does not come within three days, according to the counsel of the officials and the elders, all his property shall be forfeited, and he himself shall be separated from the assembly of the exiles.
