Nehemiah 10

Nehemiah 10:29

Their covenant is to keep the Law, and they list specifically three items to which they covenant. Obviously, they list these because they had not been keeping these items of the Law.

Nehemiah 10:30

This seems to have been a perpetual problem with Israel. They are now covenanting that there will be no intermarriage with the heathen.

Nehemiah 10:31

The second thing to which they covenant is that there will be no trade on the Sabbath day or on any of the holy days. Also, the seventh year, which was the year of release in the Sabbatical system, is to be faithfully observed. The final item to which they covenant is in reference to the firstfruits and provisions for the sacrifices. Let me just lift out excerpts from the remainder of the covenant.
