Contextual Overview
4Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the raised platform built for the Levites and cried out loudly to the Lord their God. 5Then the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah—said, “Stand up. Blessed be the Lord your God from everlasting to everlasting.” 6You, Lord, are the only God.You created the heavens,the highest heavens with all their stars,the earth and all that is on it,the seas and all that is in them.You give life to all of them,and all the stars of heaven worship you. 7You, the Lord,are the God who chose Abramand brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans,and changed his name to Abraham. 8You found his heart faithful in your sight,and made a covenant with himto give the land of the Canaanites,Hethites, Amorites, Perizzites,Jebusites, and Girgashites—to give it to his descendants.You have fulfilled your promise,for you are righteous. 9You saw the oppression of our ancestors in Egyptand heard their cry at the Red Sea. 10You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,all his officials, and all the people of his land,for you knew how arrogantly they treated our ancestors.You made a name for yourselfthat endures to this day. 11You divided the sea before them,and they crossed through it on dry ground.You hurled their pursuers into the depthslike a stone into raging water. 12You led them with a pillar of cloud by day,and with a pillar of fire by night,to illuminate the way they should go. 13You came down on Mount Sinai,and spoke to them from heaven.You gave them impartial ordinances, reliable instructions,and good statutes and commands.
