Nehemiah8:6
Neh 8:6
Ezra began by blessing the Lord, the great God, perhaps with a sentence of thanksgiving, as David did, 1Ch 29:10, but scarcely by using a whole psalm, as in 1Ch 16:8. To this thanksgiving the people answered Amen, Amen (comp. 1Ch 16:36), lifting up their hands (ידיהם בּמעל, with lifting up of their hands; the form מעל occurring only here), and worshipping the Lord, bowing down towards the ground.
