Nehemiah 8:5-8

5And 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.

6And Ezra blessed Jehovah, the great 1God; and all the people answered, Amen, Amen! with lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and worshipped Jehovah with their faces to the ground.

7And 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.

8And they read in the law of 2God distinctly out of the book, and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the reading.
