Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

All his substance should be forfeited - To the use of the temple. So the Septuagint understood the place: Αναθεματισθησεται πασα ἡ ὑπαρξις αυτου, “All his substance shall be devoted to a holy use.” Himself separated - Excommunicated from the Church of God, and exiled from Israel.

This site's exposition

made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem

on Ezra 10:7-9

The proclamation carries a deadline: three days to gather at Jerusalem, or forfeit both property and standing in the congregation of the returned exiles. The men of Judah and Benjamin keep it, and the narrator names the season along with the crowd, the ninth month, the coldest and wettest weeks of the Judean year. The assembly sits in the open street of the house of God trembling for two things at once, the matter before them and the great rain falling on them while they wait.
