9 H5166 And Nehemiah, H8660 who was the governor, H5830 and Ezra H3548 the priest H5608 the scribe, H3881 and the Levites H995 that taught H5971 the people, H559 said H5971 unto all the people, H3117 This day H6918 is holy H3068 unto Jehovah H430 your God; H56 mourn H1058 not, nor weep. H5971 For all the people H1058 wept, H8085 when they heard H1697 the words H8451 of the law.

10 H559 Then he said H3212 unto them, Go your way, H398 eat H4924 the fat, H8354 and drink H4477 the sweet, H7971 and send H4490 portions H3559 unto him for whom nothing is prepared; H3117 for this day H6918 is holy H113 unto our Lord: H6087 neither be ye grieved; H2304 for the joy H3068 of Jehovah H4581 is your strength.

11 H3881 So the Levites H2814 stilled H5971 all the people, H559 saying, H2013 Hold your peace, H3117 for the day H6918 is holy; H6087 neither be ye grieved.

12 H5971 And all the people H3212 went their way H398 to eat, H8354 and to drink, H7971 and to send H4490 portions, H6213 and to make H1419 great H8057 mirth, H995 because they had understood H1697 the words H3045 that were declared unto them.
