RF NEH 8:1 How Ezra Read the law and Restored it.
"All the People afterwards collected as one man, to the Square opposite the WaterGate, and requested Ezra the Scholar to produce the Book of the Laws of Moses, which the LORD communicated to Israel.
RF NEH 8:2 "Ezra the Priest consequently brought the Law to the Meeting both of the men and the women, for all intelligently to hear it, on the first day of the seventh month,
RF NEH 8:3 and read it in the Square which is opposite the Water Gate from dawn until mid-day, before the men and women, and the intelligent, and the whole of the people listened to the Book of the Law.
RF NEH 8:4 Ezra, however, stood to read the book, on a platform of wood that had been made for him and Mathiah for the purpose, and Shema, and Aniah, and Auriah, and Hilfiah, and Masiah stood beside him, on his right, and on his left Pediah, and Mishal, and Malkiah, and Hasham, and Hashbadanah, Zekeriah, and Mesh-alum.
RF NEH 8:5 Then 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.
RF NEH 8:6 Ezra first blessed the GREAT EVER-LIVING GOD:—" And all the People responded 'Amen! Amen! with a lifting up of their right hands, and bowed and did reverence to the EVER-LIVING with their face earthwards.
RF NEH 8:7 Then Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherabiah, Jamin, Akub, Shabthi, Hodiah, Masiah, Kalita, Azriah, Jozabad, Hanan, Piliah, and the Levites, translated the Law to the People, while the people stood up.
RF NEH 8:8 "And they read from the Book of the LAW of GOD with an Interpreter, who translated the meaning, so that they might understand what was read.
RF NEH 8:9 "Thus Nehemiah, who was the Governor, and Ezra the Priest, read, and the Levites who translated to the People, said to all the People, "'This day is holy to your EVER-LIVING GOD!—Do not be depressed, and do not weep,'—for all the people were weeping as they heard the words of the Law,—
RF NEH 8:10 'but,' he said to them, 'go, eat the best and drink the sweetest, and send some thing to those who have nothing ready, for the day is sacred to our MASTER; so do not grieve, for to rejoice in the EVER-LIVING will strengthen you.'
RF NEH 8:11 "The Levites also comforted all the people by saying 'Go! for to-day is sacred to the EVER-LIVING, so do not be in grief.
RF NEH 8:12 "So all the People went to eat and drink, and to send presents, and to make plenty of pleasure, because they understood what had been said to them.
RF NEH 8:13 "But, the day after the Heads of Houses of all the People with the Priests and the Levites collected to Ezra the Scholar, to examine the records of the Law,
RF NEH 8:14 and found written in the Law which the EVER-LIVING communicated by means of Moses, that the Children of Israel should reside in tents in the seventh month.
RF NEH 8:15 They consequently proclaimed, and passed the proclamation to all the villages, and to Jerusalem to order; "'Go out to the hills and bring branches of Olive, and branches of good trees, and branches of Myrtle, and branches of Palms, and branches of brushwood, to make tents as it is written.'
RF NEH 8:16 "The people consequently went out, and made themselves tents, each for his family, in their courts, and in the courts of the House of GOD, and in the Square of the Water Gate, and in the Square of the Ephraim Gate.
RF NEH 8:17 All the company of those who had returned from the Captivity also made tents and resided in the tents, although the Children of Israel had not done so since the times of Joshua the son of Nun, till that day, and they enjoyed themselves very greatly.
RF NEH 8:18 "They also read in the Book of the Law of GOD day by day, from the first day, to the last day, for they kept the feast for seven days, and on the eighth day they closed it, according to the decree.
