Ezra 10:6 in Context — Ezra 10

4 Lève-toi, car cette affaire te regarde. Nous serons avec toi. Prends courage et agis.

5 Esdras se leva, et il fit jurer aux chefs des sacrificateurs, des Lévites, et de tout Israël, de faire ce qui venait d’être dit. Et ils le jurèrent.

6 Puis Esdras se retira de devant la maison de Dieu, et il alla dans la chambre de Jochanan, fils d’Éliaschib; quand il y fut entré, il ne mangea point de pain et il ne but point d’eau, parce qu’il était dans la désolation à cause du péché des fils de la captivité.

7 On publia dans Juda et à Jérusalem que tous les fils de la captivité eussent à se réunir à Jérusalem,

8 et que, d’après l’avis des chefs et des anciens, quiconque ne s’y serait pas rendu dans trois jours aurait tous ses biens confisqués et serait lui-même exclu de l’assemblée des fils de la captivité.
