And the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform that they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hand, and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam on his left hand. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people, and as he opened it all the people stood. 6 And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God, and all the people answered, ^p“Amen, Amen,” ^qlifting up their hands. ^rAnd they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground. 7 ^sAlso Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites, ^{▼▼Vulgate; Hebrew and the Levites} ^uhelped the people to understand the Law, ^vwhile the people remained in their places. 8 They read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly, ^{▼▼Or with interpretation, or paragraph by paragraph} and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.
