עזרא, פרק י׳, פסוק י״ב

Faced with Ezra's powerful rebuke, the entire gathered assembly responds with complete agreement and a loud, unified voice. They show an immediate readiness to take action. Their resounding affirmation is a public declaration that Ezra's words are completely true and just. Beyond simply agreeing with his message, the people emphasize that it is their absolute obligation to carry out his instructions in real life, moving from a verbal commitment to practical action [מצודת דוד].
