And all the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 as oneH259 manH376 into the streetH7339 that was beforeH6440 the waterH4325 gateH8179; and they spakeH559 unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 to bringH935 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 to IsraelH3478.
And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 broughtH935 the lawH8451 beforeH6440 the congregationH6951 both of menH376 and womenH802, and all that could hearH8085 with understandingH995, upon the firstH259 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320. {that…: Heb. that understood in hearing}
And he readH7121 therein beforeH6440 the streetH7339 that was beforeH6440 the waterH4325 gateH8179 from the morningH216 until middayH4276+H3117, before the menH582 and the womenH802, and those that could understandH995; and the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971 were attentive unto the bookH5612 of the lawH8451. {from…: Heb. from the light}
And EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 stoodH5975 upon a pulpitH4026 of woodH6086, which they had madeH6213 for the purposeH1697; and besideH681 him stoodH5975 MattithiahH4993, and ShemaH8087, and AnaiahH6043, and UrijahH223, and HilkiahH2518, and MaaseiahH4641, on his right handH3225; and on his left handH8040, PedaiahH6305, and MishaelH4332, and MalchiahH4441, and HashumH2828, and HashbadanaH2806, ZechariahH2148, and MeshullamH4918. {pulpit…: Heb. tower of wood}
And EzraH5830 openedH6605 the bookH5612 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971; (for he was above all the peopleH5971;) and when he openedH6605 it, all the peopleH5971 stood upH5975: {sight: Heb. eyes}
And EzraH5830 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, the greatH1419 GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030, AmenH543, AmenH543, with lifting upH4607 their handsH3027: and they bowedH6915 their heads, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 with their facesH639 to the groundH776.
Also JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, and SherebiahH8274, JaminH3226, AkkubH6126, ShabbethaiH7678, HodijahH1941, MaaseiahH4641, KelitaH7042, AzariahH5838, JozabadH3107, HananH2605, PelaiahH6411, and the LevitesH3881, caused the peopleH5971 to understandH995 the lawH8451: and the peopleH5971 stood in their placeH5977.
So they readH7121 in the bookH5612 in the lawH8451 of GodH430 distinctlyH6567, and gaveH7760 the senseH7922, and caused them to understandH995 the readingH4744.
And NehemiahH5166, which is the TirshathaH8660, and EzraH5830 the priestH3548 the scribeH5608, and the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995 the peopleH5971, saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, This dayH3117 is holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430; mournH56 not, nor weepH1058. For all the peopleH5971 weptH1058, when they heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. {the Tirshatha: or, the governor}
Then he saidH559 unto them, Go your wayH3212, eatH398 the fatH4924, and drinkH8354 the sweetH4477, and sendH7971 portionsH4490 unto them for whom nothing is preparedH3559: for this dayH3117 is holyH6918 unto our LordH113: neither be ye sorryH6087; for the joyH2304 of the LORDH3068 is your strengthH4581.
So the LevitesH3881 stilledH2814 all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Hold your peaceH2013, for the dayH3117 is holyH6918; neither be ye grievedH6087.
And all the peopleH5971 went their wayH3212 to eatH398, and to drinkH8354, and to sendH7971 portionsH4490, and to makeH6213 greatH1419 mirthH8057, because they had understoodH995 the wordsH1697 that were declaredH3045 unto them.
And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 were gathered togetherH622 the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of all the peopleH5971, the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608, even to understandH7919 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. {to understand…: or, that they might instruct in the words of the law}
And they foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 byH3027 MosesH4872, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 should dwellH3427 in boothsH5521 in the feastH2282 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320: {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And that they should publishH8085 and proclaimH5674+H6963 in all their citiesH5892, and in JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Go forthH3318 unto the mountH2022, and fetchH935 oliveH2132 branchesH5929, and pineH8081 branchesH6086+H5929, and myrtleH1918 branchesH5929, and palmH8558 branchesH5929, and branchesH5929 of thickH5687 treesH6086, to makeH6213 boothsH5521, as it is writtenH3789.
So the peopleH5971 went forthH3318, and broughtH935 them, and madeH6213 themselves boothsH5521, every oneH376 upon the roof of his houseH1406, and in their courtsH2691, and in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the streetH7339 of the waterH4325 gateH8179, and in the streetH7339 of the gateH8179 of EphraimH669.
And all the congregationH6951 of them that were come againH7725 out of the captivityH7628 madeH6213 boothsH5521, and satH3427 under the boothsH5521: for since the daysH3117 of JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 unto that dayH3117 had not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 done soH6213. And there was veryH3966 greatH1419 gladnessH8057.
Also dayH3117 by dayH3117, from the firstH7223 dayH3117 unto the lastH314 dayH3117, he readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430. And they keptH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 was a solemn assemblyH6116, according unto the mannerH4941. {a solemn…: Heb. a restraint}
And the rulersH8269 of the peopleH5971 dweltH3427 at JerusalemH3389: the restH7605 of the peopleH5971 also castH5307 lotsH1486, to bringH935 oneH259 of tenH6235 to dwellH3427 in JerusalemH3389 the holyH6944 cityH5892, and nineH8672 partsH3027 to dwell in other citiesH5892.
And the peopleH5971 blessedH1288 all the menH582, that willingly offeredH5068 themselves to dwellH3427 at JerusalemH3389.
Now these are the chiefH7218 of the provinceH4082 that dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389: but in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 dweltH3427 every oneH376 in his possessionH272 in their citiesH5892, to wit, IsraelH3478, the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and the NethinimsH5411, and the childrenH1121 of Solomon'sH8010 servantsH5650.

But the NethinimsH5411 dweltH3427 in OphelH6077: and ZihaH6727 and GispaH1658 were over the NethinimsH5411. {Ophel: or, the tower}
The overseerH6496 also of the LevitesH3881 at JerusalemH3389 was UzziH5813 the sonH1121 of BaniH1137, the sonH1121 of HashabiahH2811, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, the sonH1121 of MichaH4316. Of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, the singersH7891 were overH5048 the businessH4399 of the houseH1004 of GodH430.

Now therefore makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and doH6213 his pleasureH7522: and separateH914 yourselves from the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and from the strangeH5237 wivesH802.
Then all the congregationH6951 answeredH6030 and saidH559 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, As thou hast saidH1697, so must we doH6213.
And they gaveH5414 their handsH3027 that they would put awayH3318 their wivesH802; and being guiltyH818, they offered a ramH352 of the flockH6629 for their trespassH819.
