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














for the showbread
The term "showbread" refers to the "bread of the Presence," which was placed on a table in the Holy Place of the Tabernacle and later the Temple. In Hebrew, it is known as "lechem haPanim," meaning "bread of the face," symbolizing God's continual presence and provision. This bread was a perpetual offering, replaced every Sabbath, and it underscores the importance of God's sustenance and fellowship with His people. The showbread is a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and Israel, emphasizing His provision and the need for continual worship.

for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings
These offerings were part of the daily sacrificial system established in the Mosaic Law. The "grain offerings" (Hebrew: "minchah") were offerings of flour, oil, and frankincense, symbolizing dedication and thanksgiving to God. The "burnt offerings" (Hebrew: "olah") were entirely consumed by fire, representing atonement and complete surrender to God. These offerings highlight the Israelites' commitment to maintaining a relationship with God through regular acts of worship and sacrifice, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ.

for the Sabbaths
The Sabbath was a weekly day of rest and worship, instituted by God as a sign of the covenant with Israel (Exodus 31:13). It served as a reminder of God's creation and His deliverance of Israel from Egypt. Observing the Sabbath was a way for the Israelites to acknowledge God's sovereignty and to rest in His provision. It also foreshadows the spiritual rest found in Christ, who is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8).

New Moons
The New Moon festivals marked the beginning of each month in the Hebrew calendar. These were times of special sacrifices and offerings, as outlined in Numbers 28:11-15. The New Moon celebrations were a way for the Israelites to consecrate time to God, recognizing His control over the cycles of nature and their lives. It reflects the importance of regular, rhythmic worship and dedication to God.

and appointed feasts
The "appointed feasts" (Hebrew: "moedim") refer to the annual festivals established by God, such as Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles. These feasts were times of communal worship, remembrance, and celebration of God's past acts of salvation and provision. They served to unite the community in worship and to teach future generations about God's faithfulness. Each feast also points to aspects of Christ's redemptive work.

for the holy offerings
"Holy offerings" were those set apart for God, emphasizing the sacredness and purity required in worship. These offerings were a means of maintaining holiness and purity among the people, reminding them of God's holiness and their need to be set apart for Him. This concept of holiness is central to the Christian life, as believers are called to be holy as God is holy (1 Peter 1:16).

for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel
Sin offerings (Hebrew: "chatat") were sacrifices made to atone for unintentional sins, highlighting the seriousness of sin and the need for purification. Atonement (Hebrew: "kippur") means "to cover," signifying the covering of sin through sacrifice. These offerings point to the ultimate atonement made by Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross covers the sins of all who believe in Him, providing reconciliation with God.

and for all the duties of the house of our God
This phrase encompasses the various responsibilities and services required to maintain the Temple and its worship. The "house of our God" refers to the Temple, the central place of worship and God's dwelling among His people. The duties included maintaining the physical structure, preparing offerings, and conducting worship services. This highlights the importance of dedicated service and stewardship in the worship of God, a principle that extends to the Church today as the body of Christ.

Verse 33. - For the shew-bread. See Leviticus 24:5-8. Small as the cost of the shew-bread was, consisting, as it did, of no more than twelve cakes of fine flour weekly, it is yet placed first on account of its importance, being the bread of God's presence, the type of the sacramental bread of the new covenant. The continual meat offering is that offering of flour mingled with fine olive oil which God had required to be offered twice a day, at morning and at evening, in conjunction with the two lambs, which constituted the continual burnt offering (Numbers 28:5). Of the sabbaths. i.e. "for the offering of the sabbath days," which consisted of two lambs with appropriate meat and drink offerings, in addition to the offering of every day (Numbers 28:9, 10). Of the new moons. Two bullocks, one ram, seven lambs, with appropriate meat and drink offerings (ibid. vers. 11-14). For the set feasts. The passover, the feast of Pentecost, the feast of trumpets, and the feast of tabernacles. The offerings required at each are given with great exactness in Numbers 28, and 29. The holy things. "Wave-offerings" and "peace-offerings" (Leviticus 23:10, 17, 19) are probably intended. They were "holy to the Lord for the priest" (ibid. ver. 20). The sin offerings are those commanded in Numbers 28:15, 22, 30; Numbers 29:5, 11, 16, 19, etc. And for all the work of the house. The internal "work" of cleansing and keeping in proper order the apparatus of worship is probably intended, not external repairs.
