Ver. 7. Also Jeshua, and Bani, &c., caused the people to understand the law] As the audience was great, so, great was the company of preachers, Psalms 68:11.

And the people stood in their places] Heb. And the people upon their stand; they kept their stations according to their divisions; not shuffling or shifting from preacher to preacher, but abiding and attending with utmost intention and retention.
