The names of those who sealed the covenant.29. The points of the covenant. And the leaders of the people: This phrase introduces the list of leaders who were part of the covenant renewal in Nehemiah's time. These leaders were responsible for guiding the people in spiritual and civic matters. The context is the post-exilic period when the Jewish community was re-establishing itself in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The leaders' commitment to the covenant reflects a communal return to the Law of Moses, emphasizing the importance of leadership in spiritual renewal. Parosh: Pahath-moab: Elam: Zattu: Bani: Persons / Places / Events 1. ParoshA family or clan that returned from the Babylonian exile. They are listed among those who sealed the covenant in Nehemiah 10, indicating their commitment to follow God's law. 2. Pahath-moab Another family or clan that returned from exile. The name suggests a connection to Moab, possibly indicating ancestral ties or geographical origins. 3. Elam A family or clan that also returned from exile. Elam is a name that appears multiple times in the Bible, sometimes referring to a region east of Babylon. 4. Zattu A family or clan that returned from exile. They are listed among those who committed to the covenant, showing their dedication to the community's spiritual renewal. 5. Bani Another family or clan that returned from exile. Like the others, they are part of the group that pledged to uphold the covenant, demonstrating their faithfulness. Teaching Points Commitment to CommunityThe leaders listed in Nehemiah 10:14 represent families and clans that committed to the covenant. This underscores the importance of community leadership in spiritual renewal and obedience to God. Historical Continuity The mention of these families connects the post-exilic community to their ancestors, emphasizing the continuity of God's people and their ongoing relationship with Him. Personal and Collective Responsibility Each family or clan took responsibility for their part in the covenant, illustrating the balance between personal faith and collective accountability in the body of believers. Renewal and Reformation The act of sealing the covenant signifies a renewal of faith and a commitment to reform according to God's Word, a model for personal and communal spiritual renewal today. Faithfulness Across Generations The inclusion of these families highlights the importance of passing down faith and commitment to God's covenant from one generation to the next.(14) The chief of the people.--Some of the names are personal, some belong to families, some represent places, and some are independent. Comparing the list with Ezra 2, we find that years had added to the number of the houses.Verses 14-27. - The chief of the people. Down to Magpiash the names correspond to those of lay families which returned with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:3-30; Nehemiah 7:8-33), the first eighteen being personal, and the last three names of localities. Nebai is the same as "Nebo" (Nehemiah 7:33), and Magpiash the same as Magbish (Ezra 2:30). From Meshullam to Baanah (vers. 20-27) the names seem to be again personal; but they are new, and therefore probably those of individuals who were not authorised to represent either clans or localities. In ver. 17, the two names Ater and Hizkijah should be united by a hyphen, since it is clear that they represent the single family, Ater of Hezekiah, mentioned in Ezra it. 16 and Nehemiah 7:21. "Hizkijah"and "Hezekiah" are in the original identical. Parallel Commentaries ...
