Scripture focus
And Nehemiah, which [is] the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day [is] holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
Nehemiah 8:9 — KJV
The Tirshatha. The governor (see on Ezra 2:63).
Mourn not. The portion read must have deeply impressed the assembled throng. The portions of Scripture read consisted of certain sections of Deuteronomy, together with other parts of the Torah, selected to convict the people of their sin in transgressing the commands of the Lord, and to remind them of the punishments to which they thus exposed themselves. They were so moved that they mourned and wept. This induced Nehemiah, Ezra, and the Levites to encourage and comfort them.
