Nehemiah 8:11-13

Darby Translation

¹¹ And the Levites quieted all the people, saying, Be still! for the day is holy; neither be grieved.

¹² And all the people went their way, to eat and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing. For they had understood the words that were declared to them.

¹³ And on the second day were gathered together the chief fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to gain wisdom as to the words of the law.
