Neemias 8:9

9 Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and teacher of the Law, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, "This day is holy to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep." For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law.

9 E Neemias, que era o governador, e Esdras, sacerdote e escriba, e os levitas que ensinavam o povo, disseram a todo o povo: Este dia é consagrado ao Senhor vosso Deus; não pranteeis nem choreis. Pois todo o povo chorava, ouvindo as palavras da lei.
