Nehemiah 8:3
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning (note: Heb. from the light) until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
So Ezra read it aloud from daybreak until noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate, in front of the men and women and those who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law.
