And all[H3605] the people[H5971] gathered themselves together[H622] as one[H259] man[H376] into[H413] the street[H7339] that[H834] was before[H6440] the water[H4325] gate;[H8179] and they spoke[H559] unto Ezra[H5830] the scribe[H5608] to bring[H935] [H853] the book[H5612] of the law[H8451] of Moses,[H4872] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] had commanded[H6680] to[H853] Israel.[H3478]

2. And Ezra[H5830] the priest[H3548] brought[H935] [H853] the law[H8451] before[H6440] the congregation[H6951] both of men[H4480] [H376] and women,[H802] and all[H3605] that could hear[H8085] with understanding,[H995] upon the first[H259] day[H3117] of the seventh[H7637] month.[H2320]

3. And he read[H7121] therein before[H6440] the street[H7339] that[H834] was before[H6440] the water[H4325] gate[H8179] from[H4480] the morning[H216] until[H5704] midday,[H4276] [H3117] before[H5048] the men[H376] and the women,[H802] and those that could understand;[H995] and the ears[H241] of all[H3605] the people[H5971] were attentive unto[H413] the book[H5612] of the law.[H8451]

4. And Ezra[H5830] the scribe[H5608] stood[H5975] upon[H5921] a pulpit[H4026] of wood,[H6086] which[H834] they had made[H6213] for the purpose;[H1697] and beside[H681] him stood[H5975] Mattithiah,[H4993] and Shema,[H8087] and Anaiah,[H6043] and Urijah,[H223] and Hilkiah,[H2518] and Maaseiah,[H4641] on[H5921] his right hand;[H3225] and on his left hand,[H4480] [H8040] Pedaiah,[H6305] and Mishael,[H4332] and Malchiah,[H4441] and Hashum,[H2828] and Hashbadana,[H2806] Zechariah,[H2148] and Meshullam.[H4918]

5. And Ezra[H5830] opened[H6605] the book[H5612] in the sight[H5869] of all[H3605] the people;[H5971] (for[H3588] he was[H1961] above[H4480] [H5921] all[H3605] the people;)[H5971] and when he opened[H6605] it, all[H3605] the people[H5971] stood up: [H5975]

6. And Ezra[H5830] blessed[H1288] [H853] the LORD,[H3068] the great[H1419] God.[H430] And all[H3605] the people[H5971] answered,[H6030] Amen,[H543] Amen,[H543] with lifting up[H4607] their hands:[H3027] and they bowed[H6915] their heads, and worshiped[H7812] the LORD[H3068] with their faces[H639] to the ground.[H776]

7. Also Jeshua,[H3442] and Bani,[H1137] and Sherebiah,[H8274] Jamin,[H3226] Akkub,[H6126] Shabbethai,[H7678] Hodijah,[H1941] Maaseiah,[H4641] Kelita,[H7042] Azariah,[H5838] Jozabad,[H3107] Hanan,[H2605] Pelaiah,[H6411] and the Levites,[H3881] caused[H853] the people[H5971] to understand[H995] the law:[H8451] and the people[H5971] stood in[H5921] their place.[H5977]

8. So they read[H7121] in the book[H5612] in the law[H8451] of God[H430] distinctly,[H6567] and gave[H7760] the sense,[H7922] and caused them to understand[H995] the reading.[H4744]

9. And Nehemiah,[H5166] which[H1931] is the Tirshatha,[H8660] and Ezra[H5830] the priest[H3548] the scribe,[H5608] and the Levites[H3881] that taught[H995] [H853] the people,[H5971] said[H559] unto all[H3605] the people,[H5971] This[H1931] day[H3117] is holy[H6918] unto the LORD[H3068] your God;[H430] mourn[H56] not,[H408] nor[H408] weep.[H1058] For[H3588] all[H3605] the people[H5971] wept,[H1058] when they heard[H8085] [H853] the words[H1697] of the law.[H8451]

10. Then he said[H559] unto them, Go[H1980] your way, eat[H398] the fat,[H4924] and drink[H8354] the sweet,[H4477] and send[H7971] portions[H4490] unto them for whom nothing[H369] is prepared:[H3559] for[H3588] this day[H3117] is holy[H6918] unto our Lord:[H113] neither[H408] be ye sorry;[H6087] for[H3588] the joy[H2304] of the LORD[H3068] is your strength.[H4581]

11. So the Levites[H3881] stilled[H2814] all[H3605] the people,[H5971] saying,[H559] Hold your peace,[H2013] for[H3588] the day[H3117] is holy;[H6918] neither[H408] be ye grieved.[H6087]

12. And all[H3605] the people[H5971] went[H1980] their way to eat,[H398] and to drink,[H8354] and to send[H7971] portions,[H4490] and to make[H6213] great[H1419] mirth,[H8057] because[H3588] they had understood[H995] the words[H1697] that[H834] were declared[H3045] unto them.

13. And on the second[H8145] day[H3117] were gathered together[H622] the chief[H7218] of the fathers[H1] of all[H3605] the people,[H5971] the priests,[H3548] and the Levites,[H3881] unto[H413] Ezra[H5830] the scribe,[H5608] even to understand[H7919] [H413] the words[H1697] of the law.[H8451]

14. And they found[H4672] written[H3789] in the law[H8451] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] had commanded[H6680] by[H3027] Moses,[H4872] that[H834] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] should dwell[H3427] in booths[H5521] in the feast[H2282] of the seventh[H7637] month: [H2320]

15. And that[H834] they should publish[H8085] and proclaim[H5674] [H6963] in all[H3605] their cities,[H5892] and in Jerusalem,[H3389] saying,[H559] Go forth[H3318] unto the mount,[H2022] and fetch[H935] olive[H2132] branches,[H5929] and pine[H6086] [H8081] branches,[H5929] and myrtle[H1918] branches,[H5929] and palm[H8558] branches,[H5929] and branches[H5929] of thick[H5687] trees,[H6086] to make[H6213] booths,[H5521] as it is written.[H3789]

16. So the people[H5971] went forth,[H3318] and brought[H935] them, and made[H6213] themselves booths,[H5521] every one[H376] upon[H5921] the roof of his house,[H1406] and in their courts,[H2691] and in the courts[H2691] of the house[H1004] of God,[H430] and in the street[H7339] of the water[H4325] gate,[H8179] and in the street[H7339] of the gate[H8179] of Ephraim.[H669]

17. And all[H3605] the congregation[H6951] of them that were come again[H7725] out of[H4480] the captivity[H7628] made[H6213] booths,[H5521] and sat[H3427] under the booths:[H5521] for[H3588] since the days[H4480] [H3117] of Jeshua[H3442] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126] unto[H5704] that[H1931] day[H3117] had not[H3808] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] done[H6213] so.[H3651] And there was[H1961] very[H3966] great[H1419] gladness.[H8057]

18. Also day[H3117] by day,[H3117] from[H4480] the first[H7223] day[H3117] unto[H5704] the last[H314] day,[H3117] he read[H7121] in the book[H5612] of the law[H8451] of God.[H430] And they kept[H6213] the feast[H2282] seven[H7651] days;[H3117] and on the eighth[H8066] day[H3117] was a solemn assembly,[H6116] according unto the manner.[H4941]
