Who? Nehemiah 8:2 “all who were able to understand”

What? Nehemiah 8:2 The Word of God.
- 2 Timothy 3:14-17 The Law of God is meant to be obeyed. It’s not a collection of opinions and suggestions. Do you take it personally?

Where? Nehemiah 8:1 The Watergate.
- I Timothy 4:11-13 In public.
- Acts 5:40-42 Temple courts= public. House to house= private. Anywhere and everywhere!
