Nehemiah 8:10-12

10Then he said to them, “Go, eat the festival foods, drink the sweet drinks, and 1send portions to him who has nothing prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your 2refuge.” 11So the Levites silenced all the people, saying, “Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved.” 12Then all the people went away to eat, drink, 3to send portions, and to 4celebrate a great feast, 5because they understood the words which had been made known to them.
