עזרא, פרק י׳, פסוק ז׳

A sweeping public call goes out across the land, aiming to bring together those who have returned from exile for a major central assembly. Commentators agree that this action involves the issuing of an official, public proclamation. A widespread announcement is broadcast throughout Judah and Jerusalem, reaching the ears of all the former exiles. The clear message of this declaration is that every one of them must travel and gather together in the city of Jerusalem.
