Nehemiah 8:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy good food and sweet drinks. Send some to people who have none. Today is a holy day to the Lord. Don’t be sad. The joy of the Lord will make you strong.”

¹¹ The Levites helped calm the people. They said, “Be quiet. This is a holy day. Don’t be sad.”

¹² Then all the people went away to eat and drink. They sent some of their food to others. And they celebrated with great joy. They finally understood what they had been taught.
