尼希米記 8:3

在水門前的寬闊處，從清早到晌午，在眾男女、一切聽了能明白的人面前讀這律法書。眾民側耳而聽。

zài shuǐ mén qián de kuān kuò chù ， cóng qīng zǎo dào shǎng wǔ ， zài zhòng nán nǚ 、 yí qiè tīng le néng míng bái de rén miàn qián dú zhè lǜ fǎ shū 。 zhòng mín cè ěr ér tīng 。

He read from it before the wide place that was in front of the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand. The ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.
