9:4Then the Levites—Jeshua, Binnui,5 Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Kenani—stood on the steps and called out loudly6 to the LORD their God. 9:5The Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah—said, “Stand up and bless the LORD your God!”
“May you be blessed, O LORD our God, from age to age.7 May your glorious name8 be blessed; may it be lifted up above all blessing and praise.
Footnotes
- 5 Heb “Bani.” The translation reads “Binnui” (so also ) rather than the reading “Bani.” Otherwise there are two individuals with the same name in this verse. The name “Binnui” appears, for example, in Neh 10:10.
- 6 Heb “in a great voice.”
- 7 The reads here only “from age to age,” without the preceding words “May you be blessed, O Lord our God” which are included in the present translation. But apparently something has dropped out of the text. This phrase occurs elsewhere in the OT as a description of the Lord (see Ps 41:13; 106:48), and it seems best to understand it here in that light. The adds “And Ezra said” at the beginning of v. 6 as a transition: “And Ezra said, ‘You alone are the Lord.” Without this addition (which is not included by most modern English translations) the speakers of vv. 9:5b–10:1 continue to be the Levites of v. 5a.
- 8 Heb “the name of your glory.”
