Nehemiah 8:1-2

1And all the people gathered as one man at the square which was in front of 1the Water Gate, and they 2asked 3Ezra the scribe to bring 4the book of the law of Moses which the Lord had 5given to Israel.

2Then 6Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly of men, women and all who could listen with understanding, on 7the first day of the seventh month.
