7 E Jesua, Bani, e Serebias, Jamim, Acube, Sabetai, Hodias, Maaseias, Quelita, Azarias, Jozabade, Hanã, Pelaías, e os levitas, ensinavam ao povo a lei; e o povo estava em seu lugar.
8 E leram no livro da lei de Deus o declarando, e explicando o sentido, para que pudessem entender o que era lido.
9 E Neemias (que era o governador), e o sacerdote Esdras, escriba, e os levitas que ensinavam ao povo, disseram a todo o povo: Este dia é consagrado ao SENHOR nosso Deus; não vos entristeçais, nem choreis. Porque todo o povo chorava enquanto ouvia as palavras da lei.
10 E disse-lhes mais: Ide, comei gorduras, e bebei doçuras, e enviai porções aos que não têm preparado; porque este é um dia consagrado ao nosso Senhor; portanto não vos entristeçais, porque a alegria do SENHOR é vossa força.
11 E os levitas faziam todo o povo ficar calado, dizendo: Calai-vos, que é dia santo, e não vos entristeçais.
