Nehemiah 8:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ And the Levites silenced all the people, saying, “Hold your peace! For the day is holy! Therefore, do not be sad!”

¹² Then all the people went to eat and drink, and to send away part, and to make great joy, because they had understood the Words that they had taught them.

¹³ And on the second day, the chief fathers of all the people, the priests and the Levites, were gathered to Ezra the scribe, so that he also might instruct them in the Words of the Law.
