Rashi, on Neh 8:3

“And he read it plainly in the street that was before the water gate, from the morning until midday, before the men, and the women, and all those that could understand: and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book.”

“from the light of the beginning of the day. to the Scroll of the Law All the people inclined their ears.”
