NEEMIA 12:43

E in quel giorno il popolo sacrificò di gran sacrificii, e si rallegrò; perciocchè Iddio gli avea data gran letizia; le donne eziandio, ed i fanciulli, si rallegrarono; talchè l'allegrezza di Gerusalemme fu udita fin da lungi.

Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
