7Also JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, and SherebiahH8274, JaminH3226, AkkubH6126, ShabbethaiH7678, HodijahH1941, MaaseiahH4641, KelitaH7042, AzariahH5838, JozabadH3107, HananH2605, PelaiahH6411, and the LevitesH3881, caused the peopleH5971 to understandH995 the lawH8451: and the peopleH5971 stood in their placeH5977. 8So they readH7121 in the bookH5612 in the lawH8451 of GodH430 distinctlyH6567, and gaveH7760 the senseH7922, and caused them to understandH995 the readingH4744.
9And NehemiahH5166, which is the governorH8660, and EzraH5830 the priestH3548 the scribeH5608, and the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995 the peopleH5971, saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, This dayH3117 is holyH6918 unto YhwhH3068 your GodH430; mournH56 not, nor weepH1058. For all the peopleH5971 weptH1058, when they heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451.1 10Then he saidH559 unto them, Go your wayH3212, eatH398 the fatH4924, and drinkH8354 the sweetH4477, and sendH7971 portionsH4490 unto them for whom nothing is preparedH3559: for this dayH3117 is holyH6918 unto our LordH113: neither be ye sorryH6087; for the joyH2304 of YhwhH3068 is your strengthH4581. 11So the LevitesH3881 stilledH2814 all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Hold your peaceH2013, for the dayH3117 is holyH6918; neither be ye grievedH6087. 12And all the peopleH5971 went their wayH3212 to eatH398, and to drinkH8354, and to sendH7971 portionsH4490, and to makeH6213 greatH1419 mirthH8057, because they had understoodH995 the wordsH1697 that were declaredH3045 unto them.
13And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 were gathered togetherH622 the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of all the peopleH5971, the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608, even to understandH7919 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451.2
