1
And all the people
gathered themselves together
as one
man
into the street
that
was
before
the water
gate
;
and they spake
unto Ezra
the scribe
to bring
the book
of the law
of Moses
,
which
the LORD
had commanded
to Israel
.
2
And Ezra
the priest
brought
the law
before
the congregation
both of men
and women
,
and all
that could hear
with understanding
,
upon the first
day
of the seventh
month
.
3
And he read
therein before
the street
that
was
before
the water
gate
from the morning
until
midday, before the men
and the women
,
and those that could understand
;
and the ears
of all the people
were attentive
unto the book
of the law
.
4
And Ezra
the scribe
stood
upon a pulpit
of wood
,
which
they had made
for the purpose
;
and beside
him
stood
Mattithiah
,
and Shema
,
and Anaiah
,
and Urijah
,
and Hilkiah
,
and Maaseiah
,
on his right hand
;
and on his left hand
,
Pedaiah
,
and Mishael
,
and Malchiah
,
and Hashum
,
and Hashbadana
,
Zechariah
,
and
Meshullam
.
5
And Ezra
opened
the book
in the sight
of
all
the people
; (for he was above
all
the people
;) and when he
opened
it,
all
the people
stood up
:
6
And Ezra
blessed
the LORD
,
the great
God
.
And all the people
answered
,
Amen
,
Amen
,
with lifting up
their hands
:
and they bowed
their heads, and worshipped
the LORD
with
their
faces
to the ground
.
7
Also Jeshua,
and Bani
,
and Sherebiah
,
Jamin
,
Akkub
,
Shabbethai
,
Hodijah
,
Maaseiah
,
Kelita
,
Azariah
,
Jozabad
,
Hanan
, Pelaiah,
and the Levites
,
caused the people
to understand
the law
:
and the people
stood
in their place.
8
So they read
in the book
in the law
of God
distinctly
,
and gave
the sense
,
and caused
them
to understand
the reading
.
9
And Nehemiah
,
which
is
the Tirshatha
,
and Ezra
the priest
the scribe,
and the Levites
that taught
the people
,
said
unto all
the people
,
This
day
is
holy
unto the LORD
your God
;
mourn
not, nor weep.
For all
the people
wept
,
when they heard
the words
of the law
.
10
Then he said
unto them,
Go
your way,
eat
the fat
,
and drink
the sweet
,
and send
portions
unto them for whom nothing is prepared
:
for
this
day
is
holy
unto our Lord:
neither be ye sorry
;
for the joy
of the LORD
is your strength
.
11
So the Levites
stilled
all
the people
,
saying
,
Hold your peace
,
for the day
is
holy
;
neither be ye grieved
.
12
And all the people
went
their way
to eat
,
and to drink
,
and to send
portions
,
and to make
great
mirth
,
because
they had understood
the words
that were declared
unto them.
13
And on the second
day
were gathered together
the chief
of the fathers
of
all
the people
,
the priests
,
and the Levites
,
unto Ezra
the scribe,
even to understand
the words
of the law
.
14
And they found
written
in the law
which the LORD
had commanded
by
Moses
,
that the children
of Israel
should dwell
in booths
in the feast
of the seventh
month
:
15
And that they should publish
and proclaim
in
all
their cities
,
and in Jerusalem
,
saying
,
Go forth
unto the mount
,
and fetch
olive
branches
,
and pine
branches
,
and myrtle
branches
,
and palm
branches
,
and
branches
of thick
trees
,
to make
booths
,
as
it is
written
.
16
So the people
went forth
,
and brought
them
, and made
themselves booths
,
every one
upon the roof of his house
,
and in their courts
,
and in the courts
of the house
of God
,
and in the street
of the water
gate
,
and in the street
of the
gate
of Ephraim
.
17
And all the congregation
of them that were come again
out of the captivity
made
booths
,
and sat
under the
booths
:
for since the days
of Jeshua
the
so
n
of Nun
unto that day
had not the children
of Israel
done
so
. And there was very
great
gladness
.
18
Also
day
by
day
,
from the first
day
unto the last
day
,
he read
in the book
of the law
of God
.
And they kept
the feast
seven
days
;
and on the eighth
day
was
a solemn assembly
,
according unto the manner
.
