Neh 8:18 | MHM | STEP | v. 18 : During the entire feast, Ezra read from the book of the law every day. The people listened and learned, using their free time to grow in understanding. On the eighth day, they held a special assembly, ending the feast in the way God had commanded (Nehemiah 8:18; Deuteronomy 31:10-11 ). True joy in the Lord goes hand in hand with careful attention to His word.
