Nehemiah 8:6 in Context — Nehemiah 8
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.
8 Ils lisaient distinctement dans le livre de la loi de Dieu, et ils en donnaient le sens pour faire comprendre ce qu’ils avaient lu.
