N E H E M I A H CHAP. X. We have in this chapter a particular account of the covenant which in the close of the foregoing chapter was resolved upon; they struck while the iron was not, and immediately put that good resolve in execution, when they were in a good frame, lest, if it should be delayed, it might be dropped. Here we have, I. The names of those that set their hands and seals to it, Nehemiah 10:1-27 . II. An account of those who signified their consent and concurrence, Nehemiah 10:28 ; Nehemiah 10:29 . III. The covenant itself, and the articles of it in general, that they would "keep God's commandments" ( Nehemiah 10:29 ); in particular, that they would not marry with the heathen ( Nehemiah 10:30 ), nor profane the sabbath, nor be rigorous with their debtors ( Nehemiah 10:31 ), and that they would carefully pay their church-dues, for the maintenance of the temple service, which they promise faithfully to adhere to, Nehemiah 10:32-39 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-31" class="com-number"
