In that gathering were men, women and all the children who were big/grown up and able to understand what was going on.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Therefore that day, the first day of the seventh month, Ezra the priest brought the Law before/[lit. in front of] the people — males, females, and children who have now understanding. He read it aloud to them from the rising of the sun till noon, there in the plasa which is in front of the Gate Going to the Water. All the people listened carefully/[lit. good] to the Book of the Law.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

• English: “Ezra, who taught people the laws of Moses, had a scroll on which the laws of Moses were written. Those were the laws that Yahweh had commanded the Israeli people to obey. On October 8 of that year, all the people gathered together in the plaza/square that was close to the Water Gate. Men and women and children who were old enough to understand gathered together. Someone told Ezra to bring out that scroll.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
