1 H3605 And all H5971 the people H622 gathered H259 themselves together as one H376 man H413 into H7339 the street H6440 that was before H4325 the water H8179 gate; H559 and they spoke H5830 to Ezra H5608 the scribe H935 to bring H5612 the book H8451 of the law H4872 of Moses, H834 which H3068 the LORD H6680 had commanded H3478 to Israel.

2 H5830 And Ezra H3548 the priest H935 brought H8451 the law H6440 before H6951 the congregation H376 both of men H802 and women, H3605 and all H8085 that could hear H995 with understanding, H259 on the first H3117 day H7637 of the seventh H2320 month.

3 H7121 And he read H6440 therein before H7339 the street H6440 that was before H4325 the water H8179 gate H216 from the morning H5704 until H4276 midday, H3117 H5048 before H582 the men H802 and the women, H995 and those that could understand; H241 and the ears H3605 of all H5971 the people H5612 were attentive to the book H8451 of the law.

4 H5830 And Ezra H5608 the scribe H5975 stood H4026 on a pulpit H6086 of wood, H834 which H6213 they had made H1697 for the purpose; H681 and beside H5975 him stood H4993 Mattithiah, H8087 and Shema, H6043 and Anaiah, H223 and Urijah, H2518 and Hilkiah, H4641 and Maaseiah, H5921 on H3225 his right H3225 hand; H8040 and on his left H8040 hand, H6305 Pedaiah, H4332 and Mishael, H4441 and Malchiah, H2828 and Hashum, H2806 and Hashbadana, H2148 Zechariah, H4918 and Meshullam.

5 H5830 And Ezra H6605 opened H5612 the book H5869 in the sight H3605 of all H5971 the people; H5921 (for he was above H3605 all H5971 the people; H6605 ) and when he opened H3605 it, all H5971 the people H5975 stood up:

6 H5830 And Ezra H1288 blessed H3068 the LORD, H1419 the great H430 God. H3605 And all H5971 the people H6030 answered, H543 Amen, H543 Amen, H4607 with lifting H3027 up their hands: H6915 and they bowed H7812 their heads, and worshipped H3068 the LORD H639 with their faces H776 to the ground.

7 H3442 Also Jeshua, H1137 and Bani, H8274 and Sherebiah, H3226 Jamin, H6126 Akkub, H7678 Shabbethai, H1940 Hodijah, H4641 Maaseiah, H7042 Kelita, H5838 Azariah, H3107 Jozabad, H2605 Hanan, H6411 Pelaiah, H3881 and the Levites, H5971 caused the people H995 to understand H8451 the law: H5971 and the people H5977 stood in their place.

8 H7121 So they read H5612 in the book H8451 in the law H430 of God H6567 distinctly, H7760 and gave H7922 the sense, H995 and caused them to understand H4744 the reading.
