نِحِميا 8:9

9 و نَحَمْیا كه‌ تِرْشاتا باشد و عَزْرای‌ كاهن‌ و كاتب‌ و لاویانی‌ كه‌ قوم‌ را می‌فهمانیدند، به‌ تمامی‌ قوم‌ گفتند: «امروز برای‌ یهُوَه‌ خدای‌ شما روز مقدّس‌ است‌. پس‌ نوحه‌گری‌ منمایید و گریه‌ مكنید.» زیرا تمامی‌ قوم‌، چون‌ كلام‌ تورات‌ را شنیدند گریستند.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Nehemiah which is the Tirshatha,.... Or governor, as Zerubbabel had been, and now Nehemiah, see Ezra 2:63

and Ezra the priest and scribe; see Nehemiah 8:1,

and the Levites that taught the people; see Nehemiah 8:7

said unto all the people, this day is holy unto the Lord your God; being both the new moon and the feast of blowing of trumpets:

mourn not, nor weep; which was unsuitable to a festival, and especially such an one as this, in which trumpets were to be blown, and gladness to be shown, Numbers 10:10

for all the people wept when they heard the words of the law; perceiving they had not kept it, but had broke it in many instances, and so liable to the wrath and judgment of God in case of disobedience.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha - Hereto, Nehemiah has called himself פחה pechâh Nehemiah 5:14-15, Nehemiah 5:18, which is the ordinary word for “governor.” Now for the first time he is called ‘the Tirshatha’” (see Ezra 2:63 note.)

The people wept ... - Because the Law brought vividly before them their sins of omission and commission. In Nehemiah 8:10 the Jews were not forbidden to be sorry for their sins, but they were only prohibited from marring a festive occasion with the expression of their sorrow.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Nehemiah 8:9. Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha — This puts it out of doubt that, when the Tirshatha is mentioned, Nehemiah himself is intended, Tirshatha being the name of his office.

Mourn not, nor weep. — This is a holy day to God: a day appointed for general rejoicing in Him who has turned our captivity, restored to us his law, and again established among us his ordinances.
