Nehemiah 1:7 - Exposition

We have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments . The ordinances of the Law are frequently summed up under these three heads ( Deuteronomy 5:31 ; Deuteronomy 6:1 ; Deuteronomy 11:1 , etc.); but it would be a mistake to regard them as constituting a logical division of the various precepts contained in the Pentateuch, or to suppose that every precept is to be referred absolutely to one or other of the three.
