Exegesis
The idiom beoznei haam {בְּאָזְנֵ֣י הָעָ֑ם | bĕ-’ōz-nê hā-’ām} ‘to the ears of the people’ underscores the public nature of the proclamation.
In context — Nehemiah 13:1
At that time the scroll of Moses was read aloud for all the people to hear, and they came upon the written command that no Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of God forever.
