“Then Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. All the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.”
Read the story together
A short version of the story to read aloud before colouring, with questions to ask afterwards.
The people gathered together in Jerusalem to hear Ezra read from God’s law. Ezra stood on a wooden platform where everyone could see him. He opened the scroll and read aloud.
The people listened carefully. They raised their hands and praised God. Then helpers explained what the words meant so everyone could understand.
The people were glad to hear God’s word together. Ezra and the helpers helped them learn and understand what they heard.
Questions to ask
- What is Ezra holding?
- Who is listening to Ezra read?
- How did the people respond when they heard God’s word?
