A binding agreement DIG: From verses 1-29, what significance do you see in the listing of specific names? Where else have you seen most of these names? Do you suppose the original agreement contained all the names of those summarized in verse 28? Why or why not? What subjects are covered by the provisions of this covenant? What rationale do you see for the prohibition in verse 30 (see Exodus 34:16)? For the prohibition and duties in verses 31-33 (see Exodus 20:8-11 and 30:11-16)? For the duties in verses 35-36 (see Deuteronomy 26:1-11)? Is Nehemiah prescribing tighter or more lenient restrictions than the Torah required? Why might that be? In verses 37-39, how did the Jews demonstrate they were good stewards? What had neglecting the house of God taught them in the past tense (see Nehemiah 13:11 and Haggai 1:4-11)?
