46 When he opened the Law, everyone stood up. Ezra blessed the Lord God Most High, the God of heavenly forces, the almighty,
47 and the whole crowd responded, "Amen." They lifted up their hands. They fell to the ground and worshipped the Lord.
48 The Levites (Jeshua, Anniuth, Sherebiah, Jadinus, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maiannas, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, and Pelaiah) taught and read the Law from the Lord to the crowd, explaining the meaning.
49 Then Attharates said to Ezra the chief priest and reader, and to the Levites who were teaching the people, and to everyone, who were all weeping as they listened to the Law:
50 "This day is holy to the Lord.
51 Go your way, eat the rich food and drink the sweet wine, and send some of it to those who have nothing,
52 because the day is holy to the Lord. Don’t be sad, because the Lord will honor you."
