Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your refuge.”So the Levites silenced all the people, saying,“ Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved.”Then all the people went away to eat, drink, to send portions, and to celebrate a great feast, because they understood the words which had been made known to them.
