Nehemiah 8:10-12

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁰ He also said to them, “Go! Eat the fat and drink the sweet and send part to those for whom none has been prepared! For this day is holy to our LORD! Therefore, do not be sorry! For the joy of the LORD is your strength!”

¹¹ And the Levites silenced all the people, saying, “Hold your peace! For the day is holy! Therefore, do not be sad!”

¹² Then all the people went to eat and drink, and to send away part, and to make great joy, because they had understood the Words that they had taught them.
