Nehemiah 8:10-11

8:10 He said to them, “Go and eat delicacies and drink sweet drinks and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared. For this day is holy to our Lord. ¹  Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

8:11 Then the Levites quieted all the people saying, “Be quiet, for this day is holy. Do not grieve.”

[8:10]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).
