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














Mica
Mica is a name that appears in various forms throughout the Old Testament, often associated with individuals who played roles in the religious and social life of Israel. The name means "Who is like Yahweh?" which reflects a common theme in Hebrew names that emphasize the uniqueness and supremacy of God. In the context of Nehemiah, Mica is likely a leader or representative of a family or clan that participated in the covenant renewal. This reflects the communal nature of Israelite society, where families and clans were integral to religious and social structures. The name also connects to the prophet Micah, who emphasized justice and righteousness, themes central to Nehemiah's reforms.

Rehob
Rehob is a name that appears in various contexts in the Old Testament, including as a city and as a personal name. In the context of Nehemiah, Rehob likely refers to a family or clan leader involved in the covenant renewal. The name means "broad" or "spacious," which could symbolize the expansive nature of God's covenant with His people. Historically, Rehob was also a city in the territory of Asher, mentioned in the conquest narratives of Joshua. This connection to the land of Israel underscores the importance of the covenant renewal in Nehemiah, as it was a reaffirmation of the people's commitment to God and His laws in the land He had given them.

Hashabiah
Hashabiah is a name that appears multiple times in the Old Testament, often associated with Levites or other religious figures. The name means "Yahweh has considered" or "Yahweh has regarded," indicating a recognition of God's providence and care. In Nehemiah, Hashabiah likely represents a family or clan involved in the religious reforms and covenant renewal. This reflects the role of the Levites and other religious leaders in guiding the people back to faithfulness to the covenant. The presence of Levites like Hashabiah in the narrative highlights the importance of proper worship and adherence to the Law, central themes in Nehemiah's mission to restore the spiritual and social order of Jerusalem.
