This event took place after the completion of Jerusalem's wall when the people gathered to hear the Law read and explained. Hashbaddanah, along with several other men, stood on a wooden platform with Ezra as he read from the Book of the Law of Moses. This event marked a significant moment of spiritual renewal for the people of Israel. (Neh.8.4).
