1 Tada se skupi sav narod jednodušno na ulicu koja je pred vratima vodenim, i rekoše Jezdri književniku da donese knjigu zakona Mojsijevog koji dade Gospod Izrailju. 2 I donese Jezdra sveštenik zakon pred zbor, u kome behu ljudi i žene i svi koji mogahu razumeti, prvog dana sedmog meseca. 3 I čita je na ulici koja je pred vratima vodenim od jutra do podne pred ljudima i ženama i onim koji mogahu razumeti, i uši svemu narodu behu obraćene ka knjizi zakonskoj. 4 A Jezdra književnik stajaše na mestu povisoku, koje behu načinili od drveta za to; i do njega stajaše Matatija i Sema i Anaja i Urija i Helkija i Masija s desne strane, a s leve Fedaja i Misailo i Malahija i Asum i Asvadana, Zaharija i Mesulam. 5 I otvori Jezdra knjigu na vidiku svem narodu, jer beše više svega naroda, i kad je otvori, usta sav narod. 6 I Jezdra blagoslovi Gospoda Boga velikog, a sav narod odgovori: Amin, amin, podignuvši ruke svoje, pa se saviše i pokloniše se Gospodu licem do zemlje. 7 A Isus i Vanije i Servevija, Jamin, Akuv, Savetaj, Odija, Masija, Kelita, Azarija, Jozavad, Anan, Felaja i drugi Leviti poučavahu narod zakonu, i narod stajaše na mestu. 8 I čitahu knjigu, zakon Božji, razgovetno i razlagahu smisao, te se razumevaše šta se čitaše. 9 Potom Nemija, koji je Tirsata, i sveštenik Jezdra književnik i Leviti koji naučavahu narod, rekoše svemu narodu: Ovaj je dan svet Gospodu Bogu vašem; ne tužite ni plačite. Jer plakaše sav narod slušajući šta govori zakon. 10 I reče im: Idite i jedite pretilo i pijte slatko i šaljite delove onima koji nemaju ništa zgotovljeno, jer je ovaj dan svet Gospodu našem. Zato ne budite žalosni, jer je radost Gospodnja vaša sila. 11 I Leviti utišaše narod govoreći: Ćutite, jer je ovaj dan svet, i ne budite žalosni. 12 I otide sav narod da jede i pije i da šalje delove, i veseliše se veoma što razumeše reči koje im se kazaše. 13 A sutradan skupiše se glavari domova otačkih iz svega naroda, sveštenici i Leviti, k Jezdri književniku da uče šta zakon govori. 14 I nađoše napisano u zakonu da je Gospod zapovedio preko Mojsija da sinovi Izrailjevi borave u senicama na praznik sedmog meseca. 15 I objaviše i proglasiše po svim gradovima svojim i u Jerusalimu govoreći: Idite u goru, i donesite granje maslinovo i granje od divlje masline i granje mirtovo i palmovo i granje od šumnatih drveta, da načinite senice, kako je napisano. 16 I narod iziđe i donese i načini senice svaki na svom krovu i u svom tremu i u tremovima doma Božjeg i na ulici kod vrata vodenih i na ulici kod vrata Jefremovih. 17 I tako načini senice sav zbor, što se beše vratio iz ropstva, i boravljahu pod senicama. A od vremena Isusa, sina Navinog, do tog dana ne činiše tako sinovi Izrailjevi. I bi veselje veoma veliko. 18 I čitaše se knjiga zakona Božjeg svaki dan, od prvog dana do poslednjeg; i praznovaše praznik sedam dana, a osmi dan bi sabor, kako je uređeno.
