Nehemiah 8:9-15

9And NehemiahH5166, who is the TirshathaH8660, and EzraH5830 the priestH3548 the scribeH5608, and the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995 the peopleH5971, saidH559 to all the peopleH5971, This dayH3117 is holyH6918 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430; mournH56 not, nor weepH1058. For all the peopleH5971 weptH1058, when they heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451.1 10Then he saidH559 to them, Go your wayH3212, eatH398 the fatH4924, and drinkH8354 the sweetH4477, and sendH7971 portionsH4490 to them for whom nothing is preparedH3559: for this dayH3117 is holyH6918 to our LordH113: neither be ye sadH6087; for the joyH2304 of the LORDH3068 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 to them.

13And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 were gathered togetherH622 the headsH7218 of the fathersH1 of all the peopleH5971, the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, to EzraH5830 the scribeH5608, even to understandH7919 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451.2 14And they foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 byH3027 MosesH4872, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 should dwellH3427 in boothsH5521 in the feastH2282 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320:3 15And that they should declareH8085 and proclaimH5674H6963 in all their citiesH5892, and in JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Go forthH3318 to the mountH2022, and fetchH935 oliveH2132 branchesH5929, and pineH8081 branchesH6086H5929, and myrtleH1918 branchesH5929, and palmH8558 branchesH5929, and branchesH5929 of thickH5687 treesH6086, to makeH6213 boothsH5521, as it is writtenH3789.
