Nehemiah 10:28-39 – A THREE-FOLD COMMITMENT
In our text we find Nehemiah and many of the children of Israel making a 3-part commitment before the Lord.
1. CONCERNING SEPARATION Vss. 28-30
They promised to separate themselves to walking in God’s law and not marrying off their daughters to heathen husbands (2 Corinthians 6:14).
2. CONCERNING THE SABBATH Vs. 31
The Sabbath Day would not be a day of normal business.
The implication is that the Sabbath would be set apart for God.
3. CONCERNING SHARING Vss. 32-39
The people committed themselves to supporting God’s work and God’s workers.
