Ezra 10:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ And they sent a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem to all the returned exiles^[a] to assemble in Jerusalem. ⁸ Anyone who did not come within three days, by decision of the officials and elders, all of his possessions would be devoted to God, and he himself would be excluded from the assembly of exiles.

⁹ Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month on the twentieth day of the month. All the people sat in the public square of the house of God trembling because of this matter and from the rains.
