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 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.
