Nehemiah 10:14-27

The leaders of the people also signed the agreement.

v28-29 The rest of the people, together with the chief men, agreed to make a serious promise to obey God’s law. And they agreed that they would be responsible for their future behaviour. These people were:

• the priests

• the *Levites

• the people who guarded the gates

• the singers

• the servants of the *temple

• all the people who separated themselves from the people who lived in the nations near them. They did this because they wanted to obey God’s law.

• their wives

• all their sons and daughters who were old enough to understand.

God had given his law by his servant Moses. These people promised to obey all the commands, judgements and rules of the *LORD our *Lord.
