Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people had been weeping when they heard the words of the law.He said to them,“ Go and eat delicacies and drink sweet drinks and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared. For this day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”Then the Levites quieted all the people saying,“ Be quiet, for this day is holy. Do not grieve.”So all the people departed to eat and drink and to share their food with others and to enjoy tremendous joy, for they had gained insight in the matters that had been made known to them.
