Nehemiah 8:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 Then (A)Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly of men, women and all who could listen with understanding, on (B)the first day of the seventh month. 3 He read from it before the square which was in front of (C)the Water Gate from [a]early morning until midday, in the presence of men and women, those who could understand; and all the people were attentive to the book of the law. 4 Ezra the scribe stood at a wooden podium which they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hand; and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam on his left hand.
