"This is an evil that can and should be corrected. On this point the Bible gives instruction. Of the Levites who read the Scriptures to the people in the days of Ezra, it is said, “They read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” Nehemiah 8:8 . COL 335.4"
"So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading."
Ellen White directly references Nehemiah 8:8 in this passage.
