Nehemiah 8:7-9
New King James Version
7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, (A)helped the people to understand the Law; and the people (B)stood in their place. 8 So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading.
9 (C)And Nehemiah, who was the [a]governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, (D)“This day is holy to the Lord your God; (E)do not mourn nor weep.” For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law.
