<p class="tab-1">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, <a class="bibleref" title="Neh.10.1-Neh.10.27" href="/passage/?search=Neh.10.1-Neh.10.27">Neh. 10:1-27</a>. II. An account of those who signified their consent and concurrence, <a class="bibleref" title="Neh.10.28,Neh.10.29" href="/passage/?search=Neh.10.28,Neh.10.29"><span class="bibleref" title="Neh.10.28">Neh. 10:28</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Neh.10.29">29</span></a>. III. The covenant itself, and the articles of it in general, that they would “keep God’s commandments” (<a class="bibleref" title="Neh.10.29" href="/passage/?search=Neh.10.29">Neh. 10:29</a>); in particular, that they would not marry with the heathen (<a class="bibleref" title="Neh.10.30" href="/passage/?search=Neh.10.30">Neh. 10:30</a>), nor profane the sabbath, nor be rigorous with their debtors (<a class="bibleref" title="Neh.10.31" href="/passage/?search=Neh.10.31">Neh. 10:31</a>), and that they would carefully pay their church-dues, for the maintenance of the temple service, which they promise faithfully to adhere to, <a class="bibleref" title="Neh.10.32-Neh.10.39" href="/passage/?search=Neh.10.32-Neh.10.39">Neh. 10:32-39</a>.</p>
