Nehemiah 8:9-12 And Nechem Yah the governor and Ezra the priest the scribe and the Leviym have the people discern; and say to all the people, This day is holy to Yah Veh your Elohim; neither mourn, nor weep. - for all the people weep when they hear the words of the torah.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ And Nechem Yah the governor and Ezra the priest the scribe and the Leviym have the people discern; and say to all the people, This day is holy to Yah Veh your Elohim; neither mourn, nor weep. - for all the people weep when they hear the words of the torah. ¹⁰ And he says to them, Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet and send portions to them for whom naught is prepared: for this day is holy to our Adonay. Contort not; for the rejoicing of Yah Veh is your stronghold. ¹¹ And the Leviym hush all the people, saying, Hush, for the day is holy! Contort not. ¹² And all the people go their way to eat and to drink and to send portions and to work great cheer - because they discern the words made known to them.
