Stairs, of the Levites. — The scaffold of the Levites, without the comma: the steps of ascent to the pulpit of Ezra (Nehemiah 8:2).
Bani, and Chenani. — Probably, Binnui and Haman (Nehemiah 10:9-10).
Their God. — When the people are called upon (Nehemiah 9:5), it is “your God”; hence these eight Levites offered a prayer which is not inserted.
