5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: |
6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground. |
7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. |
8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. |
