Nehemiah 8:5 in Context — Nehemiah 8
3 E leu no [livro] diante da praça que está diante da porta das Águas, desde o amanhecer até o meio-dia, na presença de homens, mulheres e entendidos; e os ouvidos de todo o povo estavam [atentos] ao livro da lei.
4 E o escriba Esdras estava sobre uma plataforma de madeira, que haviam feito para aquilo; e junto a ele estavam Matitias, Sema, Anaías, Urias, Hilquias, e Maaseias, à sua direita; e a sua esquerda, Pedaías, Misael, Malquias, Hasum, Hasbadana, Zacarias, e Mesulão.
5 E Esdras abriu o livro perante os olhos de todo o povo, porque estava mais alto que todo o povo; e quando ele o abriu, todo o povo se pôs de pé.
6 Então Esdras louvou ao SENHOR, o grande Deus. E todo o povo respondeu: Amém! Amém! levantando suas mãos; e inclinaram-se, e adoraram ao SENHOR com os rostos em terra.
7 E Jesua, Bani, e Serebias, Jamim, Acube, Sabetai, Hodias, Maaseias, Quelita, Azarias, Jozabade, Hanã, Pelaías, e os levitas, ensinavam ao povo a lei; e o povo estava em seu lugar.
