This verse in Ezra 10
Commentary
5 notes on this verseAll 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
a proclamation was issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem
on Ezra 10:7-9
The proclamation carries a deadline. Anyone who fails to gather at Jerusalem within three days forfeits all his property and is expelled from the assembly of the exiles. The men of Judah and Benjamin come, and the narrator names the date, the twentieth day of the ninth month.
This site's exposition
would forfeit all his property
Adam Clarke follows the Septuagint, which reads the forfeited property as devoted to a holy use. In that reading the property went to the house of God. Clarke reads the man expelled from the assembly of the exiles as excommunicated from the church of God and exiled from Israel.

Separated from the congregation - i. e., “excommunicated” (compare Exo 12:19; Num 19:20, etc.). The power assigned to Ezra is stated in Ezr 7:25-26.
