In chapter 8 of Nehemiah, the Word of God is brought front and center in the midst of the people. Want revival in your life? Lift up the treasure of the Bible and follow completely His commands.

John Wycliffe’s version of the bible is the oldest version in English.
“alle ye that traueilen & teen chargid come to me & I schal fulfille you. Take ye my yok on you & lerne ye of me for I am mylde and meke in herte: and ye schulen finde rest to youre soulis/ for my yok is softe & my charge liyt.”
Wycliffe’s translation goes back 600 yrs, but between Moses writing and Ezra’s reading, a thousand years had elapsed.
