Sang Nehemya yaiku kepala dhaerah, karo Imam Ezra, ahli kitab sarta para wong Lewi kang mulang marang wong-wong mau, banjur padha ngandika marang wong sabangsa kabeh: “Dina iki dadi sesengkerane Sang Yehuwah, Gusti Allahmu. Kowe aja padha prihatin, lan aja nangis.” Amarga wong kabeh padha nangis, nalika krungu surasane Toret.
