Nehemiah 8:4-6

New King James Version

⁴ So Ezra the scribe stood on a platform of wood which they had made for the purpose; and beside him, at his right hand, stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Urijah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah; and at his left hand Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 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.
