Nehemiah 8:9-12

And Nehemiah
<05166>_,

which [is] the Tirshatha
<08660>_,

and Ezra
<05830>

the priest
<03548>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and the Levites
<03881>

that taught
<0995> (8688)

the people
<05971>_,

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all the people
<05971>_,

This day
<03117>

[is] holy
<06918>

unto the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_;

mourn
<056> (8691)

not, nor weep
<01058> (8799)_.

For all the people
<05971>

wept
<01058> (8802)_,

when they heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of the law
<08451>_.

{the Tirshatha: or, the governor}

Then he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Go your way
<03212> (8798)_,

eat
<0398> (8798)

the fat
<04924>_,

and drink
<08354> (8798)

the sweet
<04477>_,

and send
<07971> (8798)

portions
<04490>

unto them for whom nothing is prepared
<03559> (8737)_:

for [this] day
<03117>

[is] holy
<06918>

unto our Lord
<0113>_:

neither be ye sorry
<06087> (8735)_;

for the joy
<02304>

of the LORD
<03068>

is your strength
<04581>_.

So the Levites
<03881>

stilled
<02814> (8688)

all the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Hold your peace
<02013> (8761)_,

for the day
<03117>

[is] holy
<06918>_;

neither be ye grieved
<06087> (8735)_.

And all the people
<05971>

went their way
<03212> (8799)

to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

and to send
<07971> (8763)

portions
<04490>_,

and to make
<06213> (8800)

great
<01419>

mirth
<08057>_,

because they had understood
<0995> (8689)

the words
<01697>

that were declared
<03045> (8689)

unto them.
