2So Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and everyone who had understanding was present to hearken, on the first day of the seventh month.
3And he read in it from the time of sunrise to the middle of the day, before the men and the women; and they understood it, and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.
— Ezra-Nehemiah (2 Esdras) 18:4 —
5And Ezra opened the book before all the people, for he was above the people; and it came to pass when he had opened it, that all the people stood.
6And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God: and all the people answered, and said, Amen, lifting up their hands: and they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their face to the ground.
