Nehemiah 8:5 in Context — Nehemiah 8
3 Esdras lut dans le livre depuis le matin jusqu’au milieu du jour, sur la place qui est devant la porte des eaux, en présence des hommes et des femmes et de ceux qui étaient capables de l’entendre. Tout le peuple fut attentif à la lecture du livre de la loi.
4 Esdras, le scribe, était placé sur une estrade de bois, dressée à cette occasion. Auprès de lui, à sa droite, se tenaient Matthithia, Schéma, Anaja, Urie, Hilkija et Maaséja, et à sa gauche, Pedaja, Mischaël, Malkija, Haschum, Haschbaddana, Zacharie et Meschullam.
5 Esdras ouvrit le livre à la vue de tout le peuple, car il était élevé au-dessus de tout le peuple; et lorsqu’il l’eut ouvert, tout le peuple se tint en place.
6 Esdras bénit l’Éternel, le grand Dieu, et tout le peuple répondit, en levant les mains: Amen! Amen! Et ils s’inclinèrent et se prosternèrent devant l’Éternel, le visage contre terre.
7 Josué, Bani, Schérébia, Jamin, Akkub, Schabbethaï, Hodija, Maaséja, Kelitha, Azaria, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaja, et les Lévites, expliquaient la loi au peuple, et chacun restait à sa place.
