3 They stood in their place and read in the scroll of the Torah of ADONAI their God for a quarter of the day; and for another quarter they were confessing and prostrating themselves before ADONAI their God.

4 Then the Levites — Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani — stood on the platform and cried out with a loud voice to ADONAI their God.

5 The Levites — Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah — said: “Stand up! Bless ADONAI your God, from everlasting to everlasting! May Your glorious Name be blessed; may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.
