Ezra the priest brings the law before the assembly and reads from it from early morning until midday

제사장 에스라가 율법책을 가지고 회중 앞에 이르러 새벽부터 오정까지 읽음

Nehemiah 8:1–3: all the people gather themselves together as one man into the wide place that was in front of the water gate; and they speak to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. Ezra the priest brings the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. The text goes on, “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.” The Korean Revised Version opens 8:1 with 이스라엘 자손이 그 본성에 거하였더니 칠월에 이르러는, words WEB gives at the end of 7:73; it has the people ask Ezra the scribe to bring the book (청하매), puts the date at the head of 8:2 (칠월 일일에), and gives 8:3 no subject of its own, running on from 8:2.
