And that whosoever: Ezra 7:26, Judges 21:5, 1 Samuel 11:7

forfeited: Heb. devoted, Leviticus 27:28, Joshua 6:19

himself separated: Nehemiah 13:3, Matthew 18:17, John 9:22, John 9:34, John 16:2, 1 Corinthians 5:13

Reciprocal: Leviticus 27:21 - devoted Deuteronomy 17:12 - will do Joshua 6:17 - accursed Ezra 9:1 - the princes

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And that whosoever would not come within three days,.... Or at the end of three days, as Jarchi, this was the space of time allowed, and which was decided upon for the quick dispatch of this affair, to prevent any schemes that might be formed to obstruct it, and lest those who had agreed to it, and promised to assist in it, should repent and go from their word:

according to the counsel of the princes, and of the elders; for though Ezra had a commission at large from the king of Persia, to inquire into and reform all abuses, he chose not to act of himself, but to have the opinion and consent of the senate of the nation; this he prudently did to avoid their envy, and that he might have less opposition, and better success:

his substance should be forfeited; or "devoted" p to sacred uses, to be put into the treasury of the temple, and used in the service of it, and therefore never to be returned:

and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away; into captivity, but now returned from it; that is, should be excommunicated from them as a church, and be no more reckoned of the body politic, or a freeman of Israel, and so deprived of all privileges both in church and state.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Separated from the congregation - i. e., “excommunicated” (compare Exodus 12:19; Numbers 19:20, etc.). The power assigned to Ezra is stated in Ezra 7:25-26.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezra 10:8. All his substance should be forfeited — To the use of the temple. So the Septuagint understood the place: Αναθεματισθησεται πασα ἡ ὑπαρξις αυτου, "All his substance shall be devoted to a holy use."

Himself separated — Excommunicated from the Church of God, and exiled from Israel.
