The names belong to the gathering at Jerusalem at the time of the Feast of Trumpets, after the wall of Jerusalem had been rebuilt and the gates set up while a large part of the city was still in ruins. At that gathering Ezra, then an aged man, stood on a wooden platform erected in one of the broadest streets amid reminders of Judah's departed glory, with fellow Levites standing at his right and left. The children of the covenant had assembled from all the surrounding country and answered with Amen and bowed with their faces to the ground in worship of the Lord.
