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 Lev谩ntate, porque a ti toca el negocio, y nosotros estaremos contigo; esfu茅rzate, y ponlo por obra.
5 Entonces se levant贸 Esdras, y jurament贸 a los pr铆ncipes de los sacerdotes y de los levitas, y a todo Israel, que har铆an conforme a esto; y ellos juraron.
6 Se levant贸 luego Esdras de delante de la Casa de Dios, y se fue a la c谩mara de Johan谩n hijo de Eliasib; e ido all谩, no comi贸 pan ni bebi贸 agua, porque se entristeci贸 sobre la prevaricaci贸n de los de la transmigraci贸n.
7 E hicieron pasar preg贸n por Jud谩 y por Jerusal茅n a todos los hijos de la transmigraci贸n, que se juntasen en Jerusal茅n;
8 y que el que no viniera dentro de tres d铆as, conforme al acuerdo de los pr铆ncipes y de los ancianos, perdiese toda su hacienda, y 茅l fuese apartado de la compa帽铆a de los de la transmigraci贸n.
