4 Ezra (help) the scribe stood on a high wooden platform built for this occasion. At his right side stood Mattithiah (gift of YHWH), Shema (hear), Anaiah (YHWH has answered), Uriah (YHWH is my light), Hilkiah (my portion is YHWH), and Maaseiah (work of YHWH), and at his left were Pedaiah (YHWH has ransomed), Mishael (who is what God is), Malchijah (my king is YHWH), Hashum (rich), Hash-baddanah (considerate judge), Zechariah (YHWH remembers), and Meshullam (friend). 5 Ezra (help) opened the book in full view of all the people, since he was standing above them all, and as he opened it, all the people stood up.
