Nehemiah 8 (kjv)

And all the people^H5971 gathered themselves together^H622 as one^H259 man^H376 into the street^H7339 that was before^H6440 the water^H4325 gate^H8179; and they spake^H559 unto Ezra^H5830 the scribe^H5608 to bring^H935 the book^H5612 of the law^H8451 of Moses^H4872, which the LORD^H3068 had commanded^H6680 to Israel^H3478.²And Ezra^H5830 the priest^H3548 brought^H935 the law^H8451 before^H6440 the congregation^H6951 both of men^H376 and women^H802, and all that could hear^H8085 with understanding^H995, upon the first^H259 day^H3117 of the seventh^H7637 month^H2320.³And he read^H7121 therein before^H6440 the street^H7339 that was before^H6440 the water^H4325 gate^H8179 from the morning^H216 until midday^{H4276 H3117}, before the men^H582 and the women^H802, and those that could understand^H995; and the ears^H241 of all the people^H5971 were attentive unto the book^H5612 of the law^H8451.⁴And Ezra^H5830 the scribe^H5608 stood^H5975 upon a pulpit^H4026 of wood^H6086, which they had made^H6213 for the purpose^H1697; and beside^H681 him stood^H5975 Mattithiah^H4993, and Shema^H8087, and Anaiah^H6043, and Urijah^H223, and Hilkiah^H2518, and Maaseiah^H4641, on his right hand^H3225; and on his left hand^H8040, Pedaiah^H6305, and Mishael^H4332, and Malchiah^H4441, and Hashum^H2828, and Hashbadana^H2806, Zechariah^H2148, and Meshullam^H4918.⁵And Ezra^H5830 opened^H6605 the book^H5612 in the sight^H5869 of all the people^H5971; (for he was above all the people^H5971;) and when he opened^H6605 it, all the people^H5971 stood up^H5975:⁶And Ezra^H5830 blessed^H1288 the LORD^H3068, the great^H1419 God^H430. And all the people^H5971 answered^H6030, Amen^H543, Amen^H543, with lifting up^H4607 their hands^H3027: and they bowed^H6915 their heads, and worshipped^H7812 the LORD^H3068 with their faces^H639 to the ground^H776.⁷Also Jeshua^H3442, and Bani^H1137, and Sherebiah^H8274, Jamin^H3226, Akkub^H6126, Shabbethai^H7678, Hodijah^H1941, Maaseiah^H4641, Kelita^H7042, Azariah^H5838, Jozabad^H3107, Hanan^H2605, Pelaiah^H6411, and the Levites^H3881, caused the people^H5971 to understand^H995 the law^H8451: and the people^H5971 stood in their place^H5977.⁸So they read^H7121 in the book^H5612 in the law^H8451 of God^H430 distinctly^H6567, and gave^H7760 the sense^H7922, and caused them to understand^H995 the reading^H4744.

⁹And Nehemiah^H5166, which is the Tirshatha^H8660, and Ezra^H5830 the priest^H3548 the scribe^H5608, and the Levites^H3881 that taught^H995 the people^H5971, said^H559 unto all the people^H5971, This day^H3117 is holy^H6918 unto the LORD^H3068 your God^H430; mourn^H56 not, nor weep^H1058. For all the people^H5971 wept^H1058, when they heard^H8085 the words^H1697 of the law^H8451.¹⁰Then he said^H559 unto them, Go your way^H3212, eat^H398 the fat^H4924, and drink^H8354 the sweet^H4477, and send^H7971 portions^H4490 unto them for whom nothing is prepared^H3559: for this day^H3117 is holy^H6918 unto our Lord^H113: neither be ye sorry^H6087; for the joy^H2304 of the LORD^H3068 is your strength^H4581.¹¹So the Levites^H3881 stilled^H2814 all the people^H5971, saying^H559, Hold your peace^H2013, for the day^H3117 is holy^H6918; neither be ye grieved^H6087.¹²And all the people^H5971 went their way^H3212 to eat^H398, and to drink^H8354, and to send^H7971 portions^H4490, and to make^H6213 great^H1419 mirth^H8057, because they had understood^H995 the words^H1697 that were declared^H3045 unto them.

¹³And on the second^H8145 day^H3117 were gathered together^H622 the chief^H7218 of the fathers^H1 of all the people^H5971, the priests^H3548, and the Levites^H3881, unto Ezra^H5830 the scribe^H5608, even to understand^H7919 the words^H1697 of the law^H8451.¹⁴And they found^H4672 written^H3789 in the law^H8451 which the LORD^H3068 had commanded^H6680 by^H3027 Moses^H4872, that the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 should dwell^H3427 in booths^H5521 in the feast^H2282 of the seventh^H7637 month^H2320:¹⁵And that they should publish^H8085 and proclaim^{H5674 H6963} in all their cities^H5892, and in Jerusalem^H3389, saying^H559, Go forth^H3318 unto the mount^H2022, and fetch^H935 olive^H2132 branches^H5929, and pine^H8081 branches^{H6086 H5929}, and myrtle^H1918 branches^H5929, and palm^H8558 branches^H5929, and branches^H5929 of thick^H5687 trees^H6086, to make^H6213 booths^H5521, as it is written^H3789.

¹⁶So the people^H5971 went forth^H3318, and brought^H935 them, and made^H6213 themselves booths^H5521, every one^H376 upon the roof of his house^H1406, and in their courts^H2691, and in the courts^H2691 of the house^H1004 of God^H430, and in the street^H7339 of the water^H4325 gate^H8179, and in the street^H7339 of the gate^H8179 of Ephraim^H669.¹⁷And all the congregation^H6951 of them that were come again^H7725 out of the captivity^H7628 made^H6213 booths^H5521, and sat^H3427 under the booths^H5521: for since the days^H3117 of Jeshua^H3442 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126 unto that day^H3117 had not the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 done so^H6213. And there was very^H3966 great^H1419 gladness^H8057.¹⁸Also day^H3117 by day^H3117, from the first^H7223 day^H3117 unto the last^H314 day^H3117, he read^H7121 in the book^H5612 of the law^H8451 of God^H430. And they kept^H6213 the feast^H2282 seven^H7651 days^H3117; and on the eighth^H8066 day^H3117 was a solemn assembly^H6116, according unto the manner^H4941.
