Nehemiah 8:8-9

8So they read from the Book of the Law of God, translating and explaining it so that the people understood the reading.

9Then Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.” For all the people were weeping when they heard the words of the Law.
