Nehemiah 8:10-12

Tree of Life Version

¹⁰ So he said to them, “Go! Eat choice food, drink sweet drinks, and send portions to those who have nothing ready. For today is kadosh to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of Adonai is your strength.”

¹¹ Then the Levites quieted all the people, saying, “Hush! For today is kadosh. Do not grieve.” ¹² So all the people departed to eat and drink, to send portions and to celebrate with great joy, because they came to understand the words that were explained to them.
