Nehemiah 8:7 in context

  1. 5Ezra 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.
  2. 6Then Ezra blessed Yahweh, the great God.
    All the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground.
  3. 7Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law; and the people stayed in their place.
  4. 8They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.
  5. 9Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, “Today is holy to Yahweh your God. Don’t mourn, nor weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
