Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Nehemiah 10:29-37

_ _ Nehemiah 10:29-39. Points of the Covenant.

_ _ to observe and do all the commandments, etc. — This national covenant, besides containing a solemn pledge of obedience to the divine law generally, specified their engagement to some particular duties, which the character and exigency of the times stamped with great urgency and importance, and which may be summed up under the following heads: that they abstain from contracting matrimonial alliances with the heathen; that they would rigidly observe the sabbath; that they would let the land enjoy rest and remit debts every seventh year; that they would contribute to the maintenance of the temple service, the necessary expenses of which had formerly been defrayed out of the treasury of the temple (1 Chronicles 26:20), and when it was drained, given out from the king’s privy purse (2 Chronicles 31:3); and that they would make an orderly payment of the priests’ dues. A minute and particular enumeration of the first-fruits was made, that all might be made fully aware of their obligations, and that none might excuse themselves on pretext of ignorance from withholding taxes which the poverty of many, and the irreligion of others, had made them exceedingly prone to evade.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Nehemiah 10:1-31.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Nehemiah 10:29

Their nobles — The commonality agreed with the nobles in this good work, great men never look so great, as when they encourage religion and are examples of it: and they would by that, as much as any thing, make an interest in the most valuable of their inferiors, who would cleave to them closer than they can imagine. Observe their nobles are called their brethren; for in the things of God, rich and poor, high and low meet together. They cleave — They ratified what the others had done in their names, declaring their assent to it.
