29 are joining with their kinsmen , their nobles , and are taking on themselves a curse and an oath to walk in God's law , which was given through Moses , God's servant , and to keep and to observe all the commandments of GOD our Lord , and His ordinances and His statutes ;
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Nehemiah 10:29
Commentary on Nehemiah 10:1-31
(Read Nehemiah 10:1-31)
Conversion is separating from the course and custom of this world, devoting ourselves to the conduct directed by the word of God. When we bind ourselves to do the commandments of God, it is to do all his commandments, and to look to him as the Lord, and our Lord.
