50This day is holy unto the Lord; (for they all wept when they heard the law:)
51Go then, and eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send part to them that have nothing;
52For this day is holy unto the Lord: and be not sorrowful; for the Lord will bring you to honour.
53So the Levites published all things to the people, saying, This day is holy to the Lord; be not sorrowful.
54Then went they their way, every one to eat and drink, and make merry, and to give part to them that had nothing, and to make great cheer;
55Because they understood the words wherein they were instructed, and for the which they had been assembled.
