Nehemiah 8:2-8

2And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 broughtH935 the lawH8451 beforeH6440 the congregationH6951 both of menH376 and womenH802, and all that could hearH8085 with understandingH995, upon the firstH259 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320.1

3And he readH7121 therein beforeH6440 the streetH7339 that was beforeH6440 the waterH4325 gateH8179 from the morningH216 until middayH3117H4276, before the menH582 and the womenH802, and those that could understandH995; and the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971 were attentive unto the bookH5612 of the lawH8451.2

4And EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 stoodH5975 upon a pulpitH4026 of woodH6086, which they had madeH6213 for the purposeH1697; and besideH681 him stoodH5975 MattithiahH4993, and ShemaH8087, and AnaiahH6043, and UrijahH223, and HilkiahH2518, and MaaseiahH4641, on his right handH3225; and on his left handH8040, PedaiahH6305, and MishaelH4332, and MalchiahH4441, and HashumH2828, and HashbadanaH2806, ZechariahH2148, and MeshullamH4918.3

5And EzraH5830 openedH6605 the bookH5612 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971; (for he was above all the peopleH5971;) and when he openedH6605 it, all the peopleH5971 stood upH5975:4

6And EzraH5830 blessedH1288 YhwhH3068, the greatH1419 GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030, AmenH543, AmenH543, with lifting upH4607 their handsH3027: and they bowedH6915 their heads, and worshippedH7812 YhwhH3068 with their facesH639 to the groundH776.

7Also JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, and SherebiahH8274, JaminH3226, AkkubH6126, ShabbethaiH7678, HodijahH1941, MaaseiahH4641, KelitaH7042, AzariahH5838, JozabadH3107, HananH2605, PelaiahH6411, and the LevitesH3881, caused the peopleH5971 to understandH995 the lawH8451: and the peopleH5971 stood in their placeH5977.

8So they readH7121 in the bookH5612 in the lawH8451 of GodH430 distinctlyH6567, and gaveH7760 the senseH7922, and caused them to understandH995 the readingH4744.
