Esdras 10:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 10:6

Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God
Departed from thence:

and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib;
who was of the family of the high priest. Eliashib was grandson of Joshua the high priest, and succeeded his father Joiakim as such; but though Johanan was never high priest, being a younger son, however he was a person of note, and had a chamber in the temple, whither Ezra went, either to advise with the princes and elders in it, ( Ezra 10:8 ) or to refresh himself with food:

and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water;
or rather "not yet had he ate bread" F15, as some render it; that is, not till he came thither, from the time he first heard of the evil the people had committed; which very probably was early in the morning, and it was now evening:

for he mourned for the transgression of them that had been carried
away;
into captivity, but were now returned from it, and it grieved him the more, that, after such kindness shown them, they should be guilty of such an evil.

Esdras 10:6 In-Context

4 Levántate, pues esta es tu responsabilidad; nosotros te apoyamos. ¡Cobra ánimo y pon manos a la obra!»
5 Al oír esto, Esdras se levantó e hizo que los jefes de los sacerdotes, los levitas y todo el pueblo de Israel se comprometieran, bajo juramento, a cumplir con lo que habían dicho; y ellos lo juraron.
6 Luego Esdras salió del templo de Dios y fue a la habitación de Johanán hijo de Eliasib. Allí se quedó sin comer pan ni beber agua, porque estaba muy deprimido por causa de la infidelidad de los repatriados.
7 Posteriormente anunciaron en Judá y Jerusalén que todos los que habían regresado del cautiverio debían reunirse en Jerusalén.
8 Y advirtieron que a todo el que no se presentara en el plazo de tres días, según la decisión de los jefes y dirigentes, se le quitarían sus propiedades y se le expulsaría de la asamblea de los repatriados.
