Rashi, on Neh 8:8

“And they read in the book of the law of God distinctly and plainly to be understood: and they understood when it was read.”

“and gave sense Heb. וְשּׂם שֶׂכֶל, and giving wisdom; וְשּׂם is an expression of doing.”

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
