Ezra 10:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ Then Ezra left the Temple. He went to the room of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. While Ezra was there, he did not eat or drink. He was still sad about the unfaithfulness of the captives who had returned.

⁷ Then an order was sent everywhere in Judah and Jerusalem. All the captives who had returned had to meet together in Jerusalem. ⁸ Whoever did not come to Jerusalem within three days would lose his property. And he would no longer be a member of the community of the returned captives. That was the decision of the officers and elders.
