Nehemiah 8:11-13

Young's Literal Translation

¹¹ And the Levites are keeping all the people silent, saying, `Be silent, for to-day [is] holy, and be not grieved.'

¹² And all the people go to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great joy, because they have understood concerning the words that they made known to them.

¹³ And on the second day have been gathered heads of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to act wisely concerning the words of the law.
