John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Nehemiah 10:31

People of the land — The Heathens. On the sabbath — They that covenant to keep all the commandments of God, must particularly covenant to keep the sabbath holy. For the profanation of this is a sure inlet to all manner of profaneness.

(f) Which nonetheless they broke soon after, (Nehemiah 13:15).
