And all the people go to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great joy, because they have understood concerning the words that they made known to them. | | Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible And all the people went their way to eat and to drink,.... Freely and cheerfully: and to send portions; to the poor, who had nothing to eat and drink: and to make great mirth; with music, vocal and instrumental: because they had understood the words that were declared unto them; the meaning of the several laws read and explained unto them, whereby they better understood their duty, and in what instances and in what manner it was to be performed; how much more reason is there for joy and gladness, when the Gospel, and the doctrines of it, are clearly known and understood? Psalm 89:15.
Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old TestamentThis address had its effect. The people went their way, some to their houses, some to their lodgings, to partake of festal repasts, and to keep the feast with joy; "for they gave heed to the words that were declared to them," i.e., they took to heart the address of Nehemiah, Ezra, and the Levites.
Geneva Study BibleAnd all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary8:9-12 It was a good sign that their hearts were tender, when they heard the words of the law. The people were to send portions to those for whom nothing was prepared. It is the duty of a religious feast, as well as of a religious fast, to draw out the soul to the hungry; God's bounty should make us bountiful. We must not only give to those that offer themselves, but send to those out of sight. Their strength consisted in joy in the Lord. The better we understand God's word, the more comfort we find in it; the darkness of trouble arises from the darkness of ignorance. | |
