尼希米記 9:36 RCUVTS

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 9:1-38

INTERNAL REGULATIONS A NEW GENEALOGICAL RECORD (Nehemiah 7:0 ) The need for this assignment of duty to the two men named (Nehemiah 7:2 ), is not apparent unless Nehemiah contemplated a return to Persia. Later it will be seen that such return took place, but whether at this time or not, is not clear. To “fear God above many,” as Hananiah did, is a great commendation. It was customary to open the gates of a city at sunrise, but to do so in this case before the inhabitants were well awake and... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Nehemiah 9:1-38

Nehemiah 9:0 1. Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month [ch. Neh 8:2 ] the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them [Comp. 1 Samuel 4:12 ; 2 Samuel 15:32 , etc.]. 2. And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers [ Heb. strange children], and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 3. And they stood up in their place, and read [ i.e. engaged in the reading of the law. The actual readers were... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nehemiah 9:32-38

(32) Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day. (33) Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: (34) Neither have our kings, our... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 9:4-38

4-38 The summary of their prayers we have here upon record. Much more, no doubt, was said. Whatever ability we have to do any thing in the way of duty, we are to serve and glorify God according to the utmost of it. When confessing our sins, it is good to notice the mercies of God, that we may be the more humbled and ashamed. The dealings of the Lord showed his goodness and long-suffering, and the hardness of their hearts. The testimony of the prophets was the testimony of the Spirit in the... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Nehemiah 9:1-99

Nehemiah 9 and Nehemiah 10 IN VERSES Neh_9:2 and 3, we see the effect which the reading of the law had upon the hearers. First, they separated themselves from all the entanglements with 'strangers', or 'foreigners', that they had been permitting. Secondly, they confessed their own sins, as well as the iniquities in which their fathers had been involved. Then thirdly, they honoured their God, by worshipping Him. They recognized that the word of the Lord, which they read, demanded obedience. And... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Nehemiah 9:4-38

The Levites Confess the People's Wickedness v. 4. Then stood up upon the stairs, the platforms from which the people were usually addressed, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bani, Sherebiah, Eani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the Lord, their God, acting as spokesmen for the entire congregation. v. 5. Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, following an order of worship which had been... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Nehemiah 9:22-38

the Penalty of Ingratitude and Disobedience Nehemiah 9:22-38 The theme of this prayer is the covenant mercy of God. However great the provocation of the Chosen People, He never swerved from His ancient promise to their fathers. He testified against them by His Spirit and chastened them for their sins. He allowed them to be oppressed by their enemies and carried into captivity. But when they returned and cried for His help they found His manifold mercies waiting to welcome, forgive, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Nehemiah 9:1-38

After a brief interval, following the feast came the great day of humiliation. The people separated themselves entirely from all who were not actually within the Covenant, and gave themselves to confession and humbling before God. In all this they were led by the Levites, and the chapter is largely filled with the great prayer they offered on this occasion. It may have been especially prepared for them, and used by all of them; or perhaps it is a condensed account of their approach to God on... read more
