Nehemiah 8:1-3

Nehemiah 8:1-3 CSB

all the people gathered together  at the square in front of the Water Gate.  They asked the scribe Ezra  to bring the book of the law of Moses  that the LORD had given Israel. On the first day of the seventh month,  the priest Ezra  brought the law  before the assembly of men, women, and all who could listen with understanding. While he was facing the square in front of the Water Gate,  he read out of it from daybreak until noon before the men, the women, and those who could understand. All the people listened attentively  to the book of the law.
