Now go, every one of you to his house: Ezra tells everyone to go back home.

And after these days I will come to you: This clause appears to mean that he will spend a few more days away from the city in prayer.

An alternative model for this verse is:

• Now, every one of you must go home. I will come back after I have spent a few more days here in prayer.”
