Nehemiah 8:5-8

New King James Version

⁵ And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people ^(A)stood up. ⁶ And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God.

Then all the people ^(B)answered, “Amen, Amen!” while ^(C)lifting up their hands. And they ^(D)bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.

⁷ Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, ^(E)helped the people to understand the Law; and the people ^(F)stood in their place. ⁸ So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading.
