4 Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden rostrum erected for that purpose. Beside him to his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maasseiah. Beside him to his left stood Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5 Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people. Because he was visible above all the people there, as he opened it, all the people stood up. Nehemiah 8:4-5, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
