Nehemiah 8:10

Ezra Reads The Law To The People

⁹ And Nehemiah -- he is the Tirshatha -- saith (and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Levites who are instructing the people) to all the people, 'To-day is holy to Jehovah your God, do not mourn, nor weep:' for all the people are weeping at their hearing the words of the law. ¹⁰ And he saith to them, 'Go, eat fat things, and drink sweet things, and sent portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for to-day is holy to our Lord, and be not grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.' ¹¹ And the Levites are keeping all the people silent, saying, 'Be silent, for to-day is holy, and be not grieved.'
