- All the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded to Israel.
- Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.
- He read therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were [attentive] to the book of the law.
- Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, [and] Meshullam.
- 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:
- and Ezra blessed Yahweh, the great God. All the people answered, "Amen, Amen," with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground.
- Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people [stood] in their place.
- They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.
- Nehemiah, 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.
- Then he said to them, "Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Don't be grieved; for the joy of Yahweh is your strength."
- So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, "Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be grieved."
- All the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.
- On the second day were gathered together the heads of fathers' [houses] of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to give attention to the words of the law.
- They found written in the law, how that Yahweh had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;
- and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, "Go out to the mountain, and get olive branches, and branches of wild olive, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written."
- So the people went out, and brought them, and made themselves booths, everyone on the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim.
- All the assembly of those who were come again out of the captivity made booths, and lived in the booths; for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day the children of Israel had not done so. There was very great gladness.
- Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.

- ויצאו העם ויביאו ויעשו להם סכות איש על־גגו ובחצרתיהם ובחצרות בית האלהים וברחוב שער המים וברחוב שער אפרים׃
- ויעשו כל־הקהל השבים מן־השבי סכות וישבו בסכות כי לא־עשו מימי ישוע בן־נון כן בני ישראל עד היום ההוא ותהי שמחה גדולה מאד׃

| Nehemiah 8 Text (Latin)

- Et venerat mensis septimus : filii autem Israël erant in civitatibus suis. Congregatusque est omnis populus quasi vir unus ad plateam, quæ est ante portam aquarum : et dixerunt Esdræ scribæ ut afferret librum legis Moysi, quam præceperat Dominus Israëli.
- Attulit ergo Esdras sacerdos legem coram multitudine virorum et mulierum, cunctisque qui poterant intelligere, in die prima mensis septimi.
- Et legit in eo aperte in platea quæ erat ante portam aquarum, de mane usque ad mediam diem, in conspectu virorum et mulierum, et sapientium : et aures omnis populi erant erectæ ad librum.
- Stetit autem Esdras scriba super gradum ligneum, quem fecerat ad loquendum : et steterunt juxta eum Mathathias, et Semeia, et Ania, et Uria, et Helcia, et Maasia, ad dexteram ejus : et ad sinistram, Phadaia, Misaël, et Melchia, et Hasum, et Hasbadana, Zacharia, et Mosollam.
- Et aperuit Esdras librum coram omni populo : super universum quippe populum eminebat : et cum aperuisset eum, stetit omnis populus.
- Et benedixit Esdras Domino Deo magno : et respondit omnis populus : Amen, amen, elevans manus suas : et incurvati sunt, et adoraverunt Deum proni in terram.
- Porro Josue, et Bani, et Serebia, Jamin, Accub, Septhai, Odia, Maasia, Celita, Azarias, Jozabed, Hanan, Phalaia, Levitæ, silentium faciebant in populo ad audiendam legem : populus autem stabat in gradu suo.
- Et legerunt in libro legis Dei distincte, et aperte ad intelligendum : et intellexerunt cum legeretur.
- Dixit autem Nehemias (ipse est Athersatha) et Esdras sacerdos et scriba, et Levitæ interpretantes universo populo : Dies sanctificatus est Domino Deo nostro : nolite lugere, et nolite flere. Flebat enim omnis populus cum audiret verba legis.
- Et dixit eis : Ite, comedite pinguia, et bibite mulsum, et mittite partes his qui non præparaverunt sibi, quia sanctus dies Domini est : et nolite contristari : gaudium etenim Domini est fortitudo nostra.
- Levitæ autem silentium faciebant in omni populo, dicentes : Tacete, quia dies sanctus est, et nolite dolere.
- Abiit itaque omnis populus ut comederet, et biberet, et mitteret partes, et faceret lætitiam magnam : quia intellexerant verba, quæ docuerat eos.
- Et in die secundo congregati sunt principes familiarum universi populi, sacerdotes et Levitæ ad Esdram scribam, ut interpretaretur eis verba legis.
- Et invenerunt scriptum in lege præcepisse Dominum in manu Moysi ut habitent filii Israël in tabernaculis, in die solemni, mense septimo :
- et ut prædicent, et divulgent vocem in universis urbibus suis, et in Jerusalem, dicentes : Egredimini in montem, et afferte frondes olivæ, et frondes ligni pulcherrimi, frondes myrti, et ramos palmarum, et frondes ligni nemorosi, ut fiant tabernacula, sicut scriptum est.
- Et egressus est populus, et attulerunt. Feceruntque sibi tabernacula unusquisque in domate suo : et in atriis suis, et in atriis domus Dei, et in platea portæ aquarum, et in platea portæ Ephraim.
- Fecit ergo universa ecclesia eorum, qui redierant de captivitate, tabernacula, et habitaverunt in tabernaculis : non enim fecerant a diebus Josue filii Nun taliter filii Israël usque ad diem illum. Et fuit lætitia magna nimis.
- Legit autem in libro legis Dei per dies singulos, a die primo usque ad diem novissimum. Et fecerunt solemnitatem septem diebus, et in die octavo collectam juxta ritum.

- And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
- And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
- And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.

- So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
- And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
- Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
- So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
- And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
- And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
- And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
- And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
- So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
- And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
- Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
