Neh 9:38

“Now because of all this
We are making an agreement in writing;
And on the sealed document are the names of our leaders, our Levites and our priests.”

They had written the prayer as a document.
An agreement in writing.
They sealed the document with their names.
Names of leaders.
Names of Levites.
Names of priests.

They affirmed/confirmed the document by signing their names.
The next twenty-seven verses give us their names.

They were serious.
It was a serious matter.

Neh 10:28-30

Now the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons and their daughters, all those who had knowledge and understanding,

are joining with their kinsmen, their nobles, and are taking on themselves a curse and an oath to walk in God’s law, which was given through Moses, God’s servant, and to keep and to observe all the commandments of GOD our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes;

and that we will not give our daughters to the peoples of the land or take their daughters for our sons.

They took on themselves a curse and an oath to walk in God’s law.

They agreed to observe all the commandments of the Lord.
All His ordinances.
All His statutes.

The ones who had knowledge and understanding did this.

What knowledge/understanding do we have?
How do we walk?
