Nehemiah 1:10 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 1:10

Now these are thy servants, and thy people
Meaning those that were in Jerusalem and Judah, gathered out of several countries, and returned to Jerusalem:

whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand;
touching and moving the heart of Cyrus to proclaim liberty to them.

Nehemiah 1:10 In-Context

8 All the same, remember the warning you posted to your servant Moses: 'If you betray me, I'll scatter you to the four winds,
9 but if you come back to me and do what I tell you, I'll gather up all these scattered peoples from wherever they ended up and put them back in the place I chose to mark with my Name.'
10 "Well, there they are - your servants, your people whom you so powerfully and impressively redeemed.
11 O Master, listen to me, listen to your servant's prayer - and yes, to all your servants who delight in honoring you - and make me successful today so that I get what I want from the king." I was cupbearer to the king.
