Nehemiah 8:9

Ezra Reads The Law To The People

⁸ So they read in the book of the law of God, distinctly, - and, giving the sense, caused them to understand the reading. ⁹ Then Nehemiah - he, was the governor - and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who were causing the people to understand, said unto all the people, To-day, is, holy, unto Yahweh your God, do not mourn, nor weep, - for, weeping, were all the people, when they heard the words of the law. ¹⁰ So he said unto them - Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared, for holy is the day, unto our Lord, - and be not grieved, for, the joy of Yahweh, is your strength.
