Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 8:9-12

The People Wept On Hearing The Law And Were Exhorted Not To Do So By Their Leaders On The Grounds That This Was An Occasion For Celebration (Nehemiah 8:9-12 ). It is apparent that there was a revival atmosphere at the gathering. God was present among them and His Holy Spirit was moving on men’s hearts through His chosen one in the same way as at the Exodus (Isaiah 63:11). In consequence God’s commands went deep into their hearts and they wept as they realised how far they had come short. But... read more

PART IV ( Nehemiah 7:73 b – Nehemiah 10:39). Ezra and the Law. Nehemiah 7:73 b – Nehemiah 8:12 . The Reading of the Law. Nehemiah 7:73 b. These words are repeated by mistake from Ezra 3:1. Nehemiah 8:1 . Cf. Ezra 7:6-2 Samuel :. It is clear that we have here only part of the original narrative. It is difficult to understand, knowing what we do about Ezra from other parts of the book, how the initiative regarding the reading of the Law should have been taken by the people as is here... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Nehemiah 8:10

Eat the fat, and drink the sweet; feast before the Lord, as the duty of the day obligeth you to do. Send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared; for the relief of your poor brethren, who else must mourn whilst you rejoice. See of this duty and practice Deuteronomy 16:11,Deuteronomy 16:14; Esther 9:19. This day is holy unto our Lord; being the feast of trumpets, Leviticus 23:24, and the beginning of this joyful month, wherein so many days of feasting and thanksgiving were to be... read more

The Levites stilled all the people; whose passions being once raised, could not suddenly be composed. Hold your peace; cease from weeping and mournful cries, and turn your lamentations into thanksgivings. read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 8:10

Nehemiah 8:10 I. The text teaches that there is a time to be cast down with godly sorrow and there is a time to be uplifted with holy joy; and the second of these is always the fruit of the first. No heart was really ever moved with godly sorrow that did not, in God's good time, come to holy joy, and no heart ever came to holy joy that had not first been moved to godly sorrow. II. Consider how we may get this joy of the Lord for ourselves, and what good it would do for us if we got it. (1) Its... read more
