7 And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites instructed the people in the law, and the people were on their stations. 8 And they read from the Book of the Law of God, explaining it and giving the meaning, and they gave understanding to the convocation. 9 And Nehemiah (he was the Tirshatha) said—and Ezra the priest and the scribe and the Levites who were instructing the people—to all the people, “This day is holy to YHWH your? God. Do not mourn and do not weep.” For all the people wept at their hearing the words of the Law. Nehemiah 8:7-9, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
