Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עֶזְרָ֣א הַ֠כֹּהֵן
ˊEzrāʼ the=priest/officer
This information serves to introduce Ezra further. In addition to being a teacher and learned student of the Law of Moses, he was also a priest whose duties would have included offering sacrifices in the temple and helping people make sure they were following the law in everyday matters. It might be helpful to your readers to explain that here because it shows why Ezra would have been such an effective teacher for everyone on this occasion. Alternate translation: “Ezra was also a priest who served in the temple and helped people follow the law” (See: Introduction of New and Old Participants)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַיָּבִ֣יא & אֶֽת־הַתּוֹרָ֞ה לִפְנֵ֤י הַקָּהָל֙
and,brought & DOM the,law to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,assembly
Here, face means the front of a group. Alternate translation: “He read the law out loud in front of the whole crowd.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
מֵאִ֣ישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁ֔ה וְכֹ֖ל מֵבִ֣ין לִשְׁמֹ֑עַ
from=man and=unto woman/wife and=all/each/any/every understanding to,hear
All who were understanding to hear is an idiom that means “everyone who could hear with understanding,” that is, “who understood what they were hearing.” This phrase likely refers to children and it would mean “children who were old enough to understand.” Alternate translation: “for the men, the women, and the children who were old enough to understand.”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
בְּי֥וֹם אֶחָ֖ד לַחֹ֥דֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי
in/on=day one(ms) of_the,month the=seventh
Since Nehemiah does not say otherwise, the implication is that this happened in the same year that the wall was rebuilt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “He did this on the first day of the seventh month of that same year.”
Note 5 topic: translate-hebrewmonths
בְּי֥וֹם אֶחָ֖ד לַחֹ֥דֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי

Alternate translation: “On day 1 of month 7”
