spread.
 It is important to note that Ezra came to God at the time of the evening sacrifice; that is to say, he approached God on the basis of sacrifice and not on his merits or that of the people. (Ezra?s Intercessory Prayer - Ezra 9:3-11 by N. Simon)
 He laid hold of the efficacy of the sacrifice as the foundation on which he could appear before God to spread out before Him the iniquities of the children of Israel. (Compare 1 Sam. 7:9; 1 Kings 18:36, etc.) The evening sacrifice was a burnt offering, all of which, consumed on the altar, went up as a sweet savor unto the Lord, and when once Ezra was before Him in the value of this-in all the value typically of what Christ was to God in His death-the success of his intercession was assured. (The Book of Ezra: Restoration From Babylon: Ezra 9 by E. Dennett)
 Not even in spirit does he separate himself from those who had sinned; he and they- indeed, all the people-are one, corporately one before God. (The Book of Ezra: Restoration From Babylon: Ezra 9 by E. Dennett)
