1 Esdras 9:40-42

Wycliffe Bible

⁴⁰ And Ezra, the bishop, brought forth the law to all the multitude of them, from man unto woman, and to all the priests, to hear the law, in the new moon of the seventh month.

⁴¹ And he read in the floor (or in the open space), that is before the holy gate of the temple, from the first light of the day unto even(ing), before men and women; and all they gave wit, (or thought, or understanding) to the law.

⁴² And Ezra, the priest, and reader of the law, stood [up] upon the treen (or the wooden) chair, that was made therefore.
