Nehemiah 8:12Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingTherefore all the people went for to eat, and drink, and to send parts, and to make great gladness; for they understood the words, which he had taught them. See the chapter |
for in those days the Jews avenged themselves of their enemies, and then their mourning and their sorrow were turned into gladness and joy; and therefore these days should be days of feasts, and of gladness, and that they should send, each to other, parts of meats, and give little gifts to poor men.
