1 Alors tout le peuple s’assembla comme un seul homme sur la place qui est devant la porte des eaux. Ils dirent à Esdras, le scribe, d’apporter le livre de la loi de Moïse, prescrite par l’Éternel à Israël.
2 Et le sacrificateur Esdras apporta la loi devant l’assemblée, composée d’hommes et de femmes et de tous ceux qui étaient capables de l’entendre. C’était le premier jour du septième mois.
3 Esdras lut dans le livre depuis le matin jusqu’au milieu du jour, sur la place qui est devant la porte des eaux, en présence des hommes et des femmes et de ceux qui étaient capables de l’entendre. Tout le peuple fut attentif à la lecture du livre de la loi.
4 Esdras, le scribe, était placé sur une estrade de bois, dressée à cette occasion. Auprès de lui, à sa droite, se tenaient Matthithia, Schéma, Anaja, Urie, Hilkija et Maaséja, et à sa gauche, Pedaja, Mischaël, Malkija, Haschum, Haschbaddana, Zacharie et Meschullam.
