Jehovah tried to teach his people so that they could be fit bearers of his holy name as the inheritors of the Promised Land, but they forsook the good things they learned. ​ — Read Nehemiah 9: 16 - 18.
Jehova mācīja savu tautu, lai tā pēc Apsolītās zemes iemantošanas neapkaunotu viņa svēto vārdu, taču ļaudis atkāpās no labā, ko bija iemācījušies. ( Nolasīt Nehemijas 9: 16 — 18.)
