And Nehemiah — he [is] the Tirshatha — saith (and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Levites who are instructing the people) to all the people, ‘To-day is holy to JEHOVAH your God, do not mourn, nor weep:’ for all the people are weeping at their hearing the words of the law.

and Ezra blesseth JEHOVAH, the great God, and all the people answer, ‘Amen, Amen,’ with lifting up of their hands, and they bow and do obeisance to JEHOVAH — faces to the earth.
