4 H5830 And Ezra H5608 the scribe H5975 stood H4026 upon a pulpit H6086 of wood, H6213 which 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, H3225 on his right hand; H8040 and on his left 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 H5971 of all the people; H5971 (for he was above all the people;) H6605 and when he opened H5971 it, all the people H5975 stood up:

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

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.
