The community's swift response to separate out all the mixed population and foreigners demonstrates the effect of Scripture reading in producing immediate, decisive action aligned with the Law's requirements. The explicit mention of separation and removal indicates the vigor and seriousness with which the community approached implementation of the Law's commands regarding exclusion. The comprehensiveness of the action (separating all mixed population) indicates the community's commitment to achieving complete compliance with the Law's requirements. This verse demonstrates that hearing Scripture produces immediate, concrete implementation of the Law's demands for separation from foreign influence.
