Nehemiah
When the people heard the words of the Law, they wept Nehemiah 8:9. Nehemiah, Ezra, and the Levites told them not to mourn or weep on that day, calling it holy to the LORD Nehemiah 8:9–11.
9Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to Yahweh your God; don`t mourn, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord: neither be you grieved; for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.
11So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be you grieved.
