Nehemiah 10
1. The names of those who sealed the covenant.
29. The points of the covenant.














Zaccur
Zaccur is a name that appears several times in the Old Testament, often associated with the Levites or those involved in temple service. In the context of Nehemiah 10, Zaccur is likely a leader or representative of a family or clan that is part of the covenant renewal. This reflects the importance of family heads in Israelite society, who often represented their households in religious and communal matters. The name Zaccur means "mindful" or "remembered," which may signify the role of the Levites in preserving the law and traditions of Israel. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of remembrance, as seen in Deuteronomy 6:12, where Israel is admonished to remember the Lord's commandments.

Sherebiah
Sherebiah is identified as a Levite in the book of Nehemiah, specifically in chapters 8 and 9, where he plays a significant role in the public reading and explanation of the Law. The Levites were responsible for teaching the people and leading them in worship, which is consistent with Sherebiah's involvement in the covenant renewal. His name means "Yahweh has sent burning heat," which could symbolize the fervor and zeal required for spiritual leadership. Sherebiah's participation in this covenant underscores the Levites' duty to guide the people in faithfulness to God's commands, a theme echoed in Malachi 2:7, where priests are described as messengers of the Lord.

Shebaniah
Shebaniah is another figure associated with the Levites in the book of Nehemiah. His presence in the covenant renewal signifies the collective commitment of the Levites to uphold the law and lead the people in righteousness. The name Shebaniah means "Yahweh has grown," suggesting growth or increase, which can be interpreted as spiritual growth or the expansion of God's influence among His people. This reflects the broader biblical narrative of God's covenant people growing in number and faithfulness, as seen in Genesis 12:2, where God promises to make Abraham's descendants a great nation. Shebaniah's role in the covenant renewal highlights the ongoing need for spiritual leaders to foster growth and adherence to God's word.
