Nehemiah 8:11-13

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹¹ So the Levites caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for the day is holy; neither be ye sad.

¹² And all the people went to eat and to drink and to send portions and to rejoice with great joy because they had understood the words that were taught unto them.

¹³ ¶ And on the next day the princes of the families of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together unto Ezra, the scribe, to understand the words of the law.
