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














and their brothers
This phrase emphasizes the communal and familial nature of the covenant community in Nehemiah's time. The Hebrew word for "brothers" (אֲחֵיהֶם, 'aḥêhem) signifies not only biological relationships but also spiritual kinship among the Israelites. In the context of Nehemiah, this highlights the unity and collective responsibility of the people in upholding the covenant with God. Historically, this reflects the post-exilic period's focus on rebuilding not just the physical walls of Jerusalem but also the spiritual and social fabric of the Jewish community.

Shebaniah
The name Shebaniah (שְׁבַנְיָה, Šəḇanyāh) means "Yahweh has grown" or "Yahweh has increased." This name reflects the deep-seated faith and reliance on God for growth and prosperity. In the context of Nehemiah, individuals like Shebaniah were likely leaders or influential figures who played a role in the spiritual renewal of the people. The mention of such names underscores the importance of godly leadership in guiding the community back to faithfulness.

Hodiah
Hodiah (הוֹדִיָּה, Hôḏîyāh) means "majesty of Yahweh" or "splendor of Yahweh." This name serves as a reminder of God's glory and the reverence due to Him. In the historical context of Nehemiah, the returnees from exile were re-establishing their identity as God's chosen people, and names like Hodiah would inspire them to reflect on God's majestic nature and their duty to honor Him in their lives.

Kelita
The name Kelita (קְלִיטָא, Qəlîṭā') means "dwarf" or "small." While the meaning might seem diminutive, it could imply humility or a recognition of one's smallness before God. In the context of Nehemiah, this humility is crucial as the people confess their sins and commit to living according to God's laws. It serves as a reminder that true greatness in God's kingdom often comes through humility and service.

Pelaiah
Pelaiah (פְּלָיָה, Pəlāyāh) means "Yahweh does wonders" or "Yahweh is distinguished." This name reflects the miraculous and distinctive nature of God's actions in history. For the people in Nehemiah's time, recalling God's wondrous deeds would have been a source of encouragement and motivation to remain faithful to the covenant. It highlights the belief in a God who intervenes in human affairs and performs mighty acts for His people.

Hanan
The name Hanan (חָנָן, Ḥānān) means "gracious" or "merciful." This reflects the character of God as one who is full of grace and mercy. In the context of Nehemiah, the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the renewal of the covenant were acts of divine grace, allowing the people to start anew despite their past failures. Hanan serves as a reminder of the ever-present grace of God that sustains and restores His people.
