What does Nehemiah 10:29 mean?
They clave to their brethren, their nobles
Who had signed and sealed the covenant, they declared their
approbation of it, attended to it, and ratified what they had
done in their name:
and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in
God's law, which
was given by Moses the servant of God;
they bound themselves with an oath that they would keep the law
of God, and added a curse or imprecation on themselves to it
should they break it; or, according to Piscator, they went into
the space between the two pieces of the calf, which they cut
asunder for the confirmation of the covenant, and so they cursed
themselves if they should break it, see ( Jeremiah
34:18 )
and to observe and do all the commandments of the Lord our
God, and his
judgments and his statutes;
all the laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial; this they engaged
to do in general; some particulars follow.
