Nehemiah 9:32-10:38 NIV

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Nehemiah 9:1-38

Nehemiah 9:1-381Now [And] in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them [i.e., upon their heads]. 2And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers [sons of strangeness], and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 3And they stood up in their place and read in the book of the law of the Lord their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Nehemiah 9:22-38

the Penalty of Ingratitude and Disobedience Nehemiah 9:22-38 The theme of this prayer is the covenant mercy of God. However great the provocation of the Chosen People, He never swerved from His ancient promise to their fathers. He testified against them by His Spirit and chastened them for their sins. He allowed them to be oppressed by their enemies and carried into captivity. But when they returned and cried for His help they found His manifold mercies waiting to welcome, forgive, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Nehemiah 9:1-38

After a brief interval, following the feast came the great day of humiliation. The people separated themselves entirely from all who were not actually within the Covenant, and gave themselves to confession and humbling before God. In all this they were led by the Levites, and the chapter is largely filled with the great prayer they offered on this occasion. It may have been especially prepared for them, and used by all of them; or perhaps it is a condensed account of their approach to God on... read more

A Call to Consecration Nehemiah 9:32-38 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It would be impossible for us to study the Book of Nehemiah in the detail which it demands. We are necessarily limited in space, and must seek to grasp the deeper message which God has for us. It is our purpose today to carry you through the remaining chapters of Nehemiah in this, our third study of this marvelous message. In beginning this study, we will give you some side lights on the 6th chapter under the theme, "The Tactics of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 9:1-38

The Reading And Explaining To The People Of The Law Of Moses And A Review Of Their Past History, Leads To Them Establishing A Renewal Of Their Covenant With God (Nehemiah 8:1 to Nehemiah 10:39 ). Regardless of sources of which we cannot be sure, there can be no doubt that this whole section emphasises covenant renewal. The wall being built, this led on to a special renewing of the covenant. · It commences with the reading aloud and explaining of the Law, which has a deep effect on the people... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 9:4-38

The Cry of The Levites To God On Behalf Of The People (Nehemiah 9:4-38 ). What follows was presumably the culmination of the three hours of confession and worship, and was a summing up in prayer by the chiefs of the Levites in terms of Israel’s history, as their thoughts led up to a renewal of the covenant with God (compare especially Joshua 24:2-15; Psalms 106:0). It commences with the idea of YHWH as Creator and Lord of all (Nehemiah 9:6); moves on to the thought that He chose Abraham, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 9:9-38

The Levites’ Plea On The Basis Of God’s Past Mercies (Nehemiah 9:9-38 ). The Levites now reminded God that He had been faithful to His covenant throughout their history, declared their recognition of His constant goodness, and of His continuing munificence towards them, confessed their own failures and the failures of their fathers, which had occurred again and again, and reminded Him how He had continued faithful, clearly expressing the hope that He would continue to do so. The confession... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 9:32-38

They Remind God Of The Position That They Are In, Governed By A Foreign Power, Acknowledging That It Was Through Their Own Fault Because Of Their Own Sins And The Sins Of Their Fathers, And Assure Him That They Are About To Renew Covenant With Him (Nehemiah 9:32-38 ). The covenant that they were about to enter into was not being entered into lightly. The need for it had been brought home by the reading of the Law in chapter 8. Their sense of unworthiness in entering into it has just been... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 9:1-37

Nehemiah 9:1-Haggai : . The Fast and a National Confession.— All that took place, as described in this section, was the result of the reading of the Law. The command to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles having been observed, there followed a spontaneous outburst of self-condemnation on the part of the people, who were conscience-stricken on account of having hitherto neglected to observe the Law; they had clearly been desirous of expressing their sorrow before (see Nehemiah 8:9), but it... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Nehemiah 9:32

Covenant and mercy, i.e. covenanted mercy, or thy covenant of mercy and peace. Or, he adds mercy, because the covenant in itself was not a sufficient ground of hope, because they having so basely broken it, God was discharged from keeping it, and therefore they fly to God’s free and rich mercy for relief. Let not all the trouble seem little before thee; do not thou account it small and insufficient for our punishment, and that it is fit to continue and increase it. Since the time of the kings... read more
