'Opened' in the Bible

Then I said to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot, and while they are standing guard, let them shut and bolt the doors. Also appoint guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his post, and each in front of his own house.”

Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up.
