Ezra reads the bible to the people and teaches and explains it to them with the result being that the people are convicted of their sin and weep. The interesting thing is that they were instructed not to - and they spent the day celebrating the Lord - by gathering together as a large group but also by eating together and giving to people that didn't have enough. No matter how many times I hear or even say that worship is a lifestyle, I still have room to learn about worshipping God in every aspect of my life.
The people then celebrate the feast of booths/tabernacles/tents by living in tents for a week to remember how God brought their ancestors out of Egypt. When I say I'm going to try and remember something, I mean I'm going to think about it quite hard, not live in a tent or build a heap of stones. Maybe that's why I forget a lot of what God has done!
