Nehemiah 8:8-9

8And they read in the law of 1God distinctly out of the book, and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the reading.

9And Nehemiah, that is, the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that explained to the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to Jehovah your 2God: mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
