  36. And they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses that the LORD had commanded Israel.Pentateuch

  37. So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could understand what they heard, on the first day of the seventh month. 

  38. And he read from it facing the square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and those who could understand.

  39. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law. And Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform that they had made for the purpose.

  40. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hand, and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam on his left hand. 

  41. And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people, and as he opened it all the people stood

  42. And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and all the people answered, "Amen, Amen," lifting up their hands.And they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
