They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the exiles, that they should assemble at Jerusalem,

Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have been unfaithful and have married foreign wives adding to the guilt of Israel.
"Now therefore, make confession to the LORD God of your fathers and do His will; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives."
Then all the assembly replied with a loud voice, "That's right! As you have said, so it is our duty to do.
"But there are many people; it is the rainy season and we are not able to stand in the open. Nor can the task be done in one or two days, for we have transgressed greatly in this matter.
