Some suppose that the events recorded in these verses took place several years after those related in the preceding chapter, while Nehemiah was absent at the Persian court; but the introductory language, on that day, seems rather to imply that they occurred immediately, or at least about that time.
they read:
Heb. there was read, "And he readª° therein beforeª the streetª that¹ [was] beforeª the waterª gateª from¹ the morningª until¹ midday,ªª before¹ the men²¹ and the women,ª and those that could understand;ª° and the earsª of all¹ the peopleª [were attentive] unto¹ the bookª of the law.ª ...
