尼希米记 10:1 CUNPSS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 10:1-39

Israel’s confession and oath (9:1-10:39)Two days after the end of the Feast of Tabernacles (which lasted from the fifteenth day to the twenty-second day of the month; see 8:18; Leviticus 23:34), the people reassembled for another reading of the law. After this came a time of confession and worship led by the Levites (9:1-5).The prayer began by exalting God as the great Creator, and by praising him for choosing Abraham and making his covenant with him (6-8). God was faithful to his people... read more

those that sealed. These are stated by the Talmudical writings, and the unanimous voice of tradition, to have formed "The Great Synagogue". It consisted at first of 120 members, but was afterward reduced to seventy. It represented the five divisions of the nation: (1) the chiefs of the priests; (2) the chief Levites; (3) the chiefs of the people; (4) the representatives of the cities; (5) the doctors of the law. Its work was (by solemn oath): (1) not to intermarry with the heathen; (2) to keep... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Nehemiah 10:1

THOSE WHO SEALED THE COVENANT; TERMS OF THE COVENANTThis writer finds it impossible to believe the flat declaration of Bowman that, "Nehemiah 10:1-27 are interpolated,"[1] there being no historical evidence whatever of such a thing. The critical scholars seek to connect those verses with the Book of Ezra, but that notion is refuted absolutely by the fact that, of the families who returned (in the Book of Ezra), only fourteen of them are found in the list here of those who sealed the covenant;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Nehemiah 10:1

Nehemiah 10:1. Those that sealed were, Nehemiah, &c.— It appears from this, that the government of the Jews was an aristocracy, or a government in which the nobles were the rulers. This mode of administration continued till the time of the Asmodean princes; and thence, by a natural transition, passed into an absolute monarchy, or rather a tyranny. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Nehemiah 10:1

1. Nehemiah, the Tirshatha—His name was placed first in the roll on account of his high official rank, as deputy of the Persian monarch. All classes were included in the subscription; but the people were represented by their elders ( :-), as it would have been impossible for every one in the country to have been admitted to the sealing. :-. THE REST OF THE PEOPLE BOUND THEMSELVES TO OBSERVE IT. Those who were not present at the sealing ratified the covenant by giving their assent, either in... read more

The signers of the document 10:1-27The names in Nehemiah 10:2-8 are those of the heads of 21 priestly families (cf. Nehemiah 12:12-21). Nehemiah 10:9-13 record the names of 17 Levites. Then the writer gave the names of 44 heads of other leading families (Nehemiah 10:14-27). read more

3. The renewed commitment of the people ch. 10Nehemiah explained the agreement he previously referred to in Nehemiah 9:38 in this chapter. Conviction of sin (ch. 8) led to confession of sin (ch. 9) and resulted in a covenant with God (ch. 10)."Nehemiah 10, despite its forbidding portal of 27 verses of proper names, is in reality a small treasure house of post-exilic interpretations of earlier Israelite law."

List of Those Who Participated in the Covenant1. Now those that sealed were] The names that follow ZidMjah’s are those of families whose living representatives sealed on behalf of their houses.

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 10:1-39

THE COVENANTNehemiah 10:1-39THE tenth chapter of Nehemiah introduces us to one of the most vital crises in the History of Israel. It shows us how the secret cult of the priests of Jehovah became a popular religion. The process was brought to a focus in the public reading of The Law; it was completed in the acceptance of The Law which the sealing of the covenant ratified. This event may be compared with the earlier scene, when the law book discovered in the temple by Hilkiah was accepted and... read more
