Nehemiah 1:7 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 1:7

We have dealt very corruptly against thee
Corrupted his covenant, laws, and precepts, as well as themselves, ways, and works; all which were against the Lord, contrary to his nature, mind, and will:

and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the
judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses;
the laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial.

Nehemiah 1:7 In-Context

5 I said, "O Lord God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments;

6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Both I and my family have sinned.

7 We have offended you deeply, failing to keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances that you commanded your servant Moses.

8 Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, "If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples;

9 but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts are under the farthest skies, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place at which I have chosen to establish my name.'
