Nehemiah 8:10-12

Darby Translation

¹⁰ And he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared; for the day is holy to our Lord; and be not grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.

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.
