1 Esdras 9:45

45 Then took Ezra the Book of the Law before the multitude, for he sat honorably in the first place in the sight of them all.

1 Esdras 9:45 In-Context

43 And there stood up by him Mattathiah, Shema, Anaiah, Azariah, Uriah, Hezekiah, Baalsamus, upon the right hand;

44 and upon his left hand stood Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Lothasubus, and Nabariah.

45 Then took Ezra the Book of the Law before the multitude, for he sat honorably in the first place in the sight of them all.

46 And when he opened the law, they all stood straight up. So Ezra blessed the Lord God Most High, the God of Hosts, Almighty.

47 And all the people answered, "Amen." And, lifting up their hands, they fell to the ground and worshiped the Lord.
