Nechemyah 8:11-13

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹¹ So the Levi’im calmed kol HaAm, saying, Be still, for the day is kadosh; neither be ye grieved.

¹² And kol HaAm went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make simchah gedolah, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.

¹³ And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the avot of kol HaAm, the Kohanim, and the Levi’im, unto Ezra HaSofer, to understand the words of the Torah.
