Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ And Ezra the scribe opened the book before the eyes of all the people, for, above all the people, was he,––and, when he opened it, all the people, stood up. ⁶ And Ezra blessed Yahweh the great God,––and all the people responded, Amen! Amen! with the lifting up of their hands,––and they bent their heads and bowed themselves down unto Yahweh, with their faces to the ground. ⁷ And, Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, did cause the people to understand the law, the people, remaining in their places.
