Every Seven Years

After discussing how we should not fear nor be discouraged, Moshe wrote down the Torah and upon completion, he gave it to the tribe of Levi (his tribe) and told them that every seven years on Sukkos (i.e at the start of the eighth year following the end of the Shmitta (seventh) year, at the end of every Shmitta cycle (i.e. seven years) on Sukkos, the king of Israel would sit up on a wooden platform in the courtyard of the Temple and read the book of Devarim to the nation.

Everyone is to congregate for this. The men to learn the Torah being read, the women to be there and listen, the children (to reward those who brought them) and converts so that they come to fear G-d and keep His Torah.

And the children of this nation will hear and will learn to fear G-d during the time they reside in the land of Israel.
