Nehemiah 8:1

And the king went up to the house of Yahweh and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites and all the people, from the greatest to the least; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of Yahweh.

Then the seventh month came, and the sons of Israel were in the cities. And the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem.

For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of Yahweh and to practice it, and to teach His statute and judgment in Israel.

The temple servants living in Ophel made repairs as far as the front of the Water Gate toward the east and the projecting tower.

And he read from it before the square which was in front of the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of men and women, those who could understand; and all the ears of the people were attentive to the book of the law.

So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each on his roof, and in their courts and in the courts of the house of God, and in the square at the Water Gate and in the square at the Gate of Ephraim.
