Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Ezra the priest brought the law. Ezra, God's true priest, at once responded to the call He did not say, "The law is difficult, hard to be understood, might mislead you, should be reserved for the learned;" but at once "brought it," and "read therein" before the congregation both of men and women, and of all that could hear with understanding, i.e. of all (youths and maidens) that were old enough to understand the words.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding.--Men, women, and children who had reached years of discretion.Upon the first day of the seventh month.--As the seventh was the most important month, in a religious sense, so the first day, the Feast of Trumpets, was the most important new moon (Leviticus 23:24).
