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














Ater
Ater is a name that appears in several genealogical lists in the Bible, often associated with the returnees from the Babylonian exile. The name means "left over" or "remnant," which is fitting given the context of the return from exile. Ater is mentioned in Ezra 2:16 and Nehemiah 7:21 as part of the group that returned to Jerusalem under Zerubbabel. This highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to bring His people back to their land, as prophesied in Jeremiah 29:10-14. The inclusion of Ater in the covenant renewal in Nehemiah 10 signifies the commitment of the remnant to uphold the Law and restore proper worship in Jerusalem.

Hezekiah
Hezekiah, in this context, is likely a different individual from the well-known King Hezekiah of Judah. The name means "Yahweh strengthens," which reflects a common theme in the post-exilic community's reliance on God's strength to rebuild their nation. The presence of a Hezekiah in this list underscores the continuity of faith and leadership among the Israelites, even after the exile. It also serves as a reminder of the historical Hezekiah's reforms and dedication to God, as seen in 2 Kings 18-20, which set a precedent for the spiritual renewal efforts in Nehemiah's time.

Azzur
Azzur is another name found in the genealogical records of the Bible, meaning "helper" or "one who assists." This name appears in various contexts, including a false prophet in Jeremiah 28:1 and a leader in the post-exilic community. The mention of Azzur in Nehemiah 10 indicates the involvement of various families and leaders in the covenant renewal process. It highlights the collective responsibility and unity among the Israelites to adhere to God's commandments and rebuild their society according to His laws. This communal effort reflects the broader biblical theme of God's people working together to fulfill His purposes, as seen in the rebuilding of the temple and the walls of Jerusalem.
