Chapter 8
And
all
the
people
gathered
themselues
together,
as
one
man,
into
the
street
that
was
before
the
water
gate,
and
they
spake
vnto
Ezra
the
scribe,
to
bring
the
booke
of
the
Law
of
Moses,
which
the
Lord
had
commanded
to
Israel.
2
And
Ezra
the
priest
brought
the
Law
before
the
Congregation,
both
of
men
and
women,
and
all
that
could
heare
with
vnderstanding,
vpon
the
first
day
of
the
seuenth
moneth.
3
And
hee
read
therein
before
the
street
that
was
before
the
water
gate,
from
the
morning
vntill
midday,
before
the
men
and
the
women,
and
those
that
could
vnderstand:
And
the
eares
of
all
the
people
were
attentiue
vnto
the
booke
of
the
law.
4
And
Ezra
the
scribe,
stood
vpon
a
pulpit
of
wood,
which
they
had
made
for
the
purpose,
and
beside
him
stood
Mattithiah,
and
Shema,
and
Anaiah,
and
Urijah,
and
Hilkiah,
and
Maaseiah,
on
his
right
hand:
and
on
his
left
hand,
Pedaiah,
and
Mishael,
and
Malchiah,
and
Hashum,
and
Hashbadana,
Zechariah,
and
Meshullam.
5
And
Ezra
opened
the
booke
in
the
sight
of
all
the
people
(for
hee
was
aboue
al
the
people)
and
when
he
opened
it,
all
the
people
stood
vp:
6
And
Ezra
blessed
the
Lord
the
great
God:
and
al
the
people
answered,
Amen,
Amen,
with
lifting
vp
their
hands:
and
they
bowed
their
heads,
and
worshipped
the
Lord,
with
their
faces
to
the
ground.
7
Also
Ieshua
and
Bani,
and
Sherebiah,
Iamin,
Akkub,
Shabbethai,
Hodijah,
Maaseiah,
Kelita,
Azariah,
Iozabad,
Hanan,
Pelaiah,
and
the
Leuites,
caused
the
people
to
vnderstand
the
law:
and
the
people
stood
in
their
place.
8
So
they
read
in
the
booke,
in
the
Law
of
God
distinctly,
and
gaue
the
sense,
and
caused
them
to
vnderstand
the
reading.
9
And
Nehemiah,
which
is
the
Tirshatha,
and
Ezra
the
Priest
the
Scribe,
and
the
Leuites
that
taught
the
people,
said
vnto
all
the
people,
This
day
is
holy
vnto
the
Lord
your
God,
mourne
not,
nor
weepe:
for
all
the
people
wept,
when
they
heard
the
words
of
the
Law.
10
Then
hee
sayd
vnto
them,
Goe
your
way,
eat
the
fat,
&
drinke
the
sweet,
and
send
portions
vnto
them,
for
whom
nothing
is
prepared:
for
this
day
is
holy
vnto
our
Lord:
neither
be
ye
sory,
for
the
ioy
of
the
Lord
is
your
strength.
11
So
the
Leuites
stilled
all
the
people,
saying,
Holde
your
peace,
for
the
day
is
holy,
neither
be
ye
grieued.
12
And
all
the
people
went
their
way
to
eate,
and
to
drinke,
and
to
send
portions,
and
to
make
great
mirth,
because
they
had
vnderstood
the
wordes
that
were
declared
vnto
them.
13
And
on
the
second
day
were
gathered
together
the
chiefe
of
the
fathers
of
all
the
people,
the
Priestes
and
the
Leuites,
vnto
Ezra
the
Scribe,
euen
to
vnderstand
the
wordes
of
the
Law.
14
And
they
found
written
in
the
Law
whith
the
Lord
had
commanded
by
Moses,
that
the
children
of
Israel
should
dwell
in
boothes,
in
the
feast
of
the
seuenth
moneth:
15
And
that
they
should
publish
and
proclaime
in
all
their
cities,
and
in
Ierusalem,
saying,
Goe
foorth
vnto
the
mount,
and
fetch
Oliue
branches,
and
Pine
branches,
and
Myrtle
branches,
and
Palme
branches,
and
branches
of
thicke
trees,
to
make
boothes,
as
it
is
written.
16
So
the
people
went
foorth,
and
brought
them,
and
made
themselues
boothes,
euery
one
vpon
the
roofe
of
his
house,
and
in
their
courts,
and
in
the
courts
of
the
house
of
God,
and
in
the
streete
of
the
water-gate,
and
in
the
streete
of
the
gate
of
Ephraim.
17
And
all
the
congregation
of
them
that
were
come
againe
out
of
the
captiuitie,
made
boothes,
and
sate
vnder
the
boothes:
for
since
the
dayes
of
Ieshua
the
sonne
of
Nun,
vnto
that
day,
had
not
the
children
of
Israel
done
so:
and
there
was
very
great
gladnesse.
18
Also
day
by
day
from
the
first
day
vnto
the
last
day,
he
read
in
the
booke
of
the
Law
of
God:
and
they
kept
the
feast
seuen
dayes,
and
on
the
eight
day
was
a
solemne
assembly
according
vnto
the
maner.
