 Now, a thousand years later, having recognized that they had not heeded those commandments, this remnant again binds itself under a curse to keep them. Although the people understood that they had failed to keep the law, they did not recognize that the natural man was incapable of keeping God’s holy and just laws. (Entering Into a Curse - Neh. 10:1-39 by N. Simon)
 (Ex. 32:1-4.) Thus having received all under grace, they forfeited everything under responsibility. ...And all the people stood to the covenant." 2 Kings 23:3. But even while with their lips they "stood to the covenant," they did it "in falsehood" (Jer. 3:10; margin), and soon even outwardly were worse than ever. These examples will enable us to estimate the value of the covenant which Nehemiah, with the people, made at this time. They were not ignorant of the past (chap. 9:13, 14), and they had confessed the former transgressions of their people; and yet they now make another covenant, blinded by the enthusiasm of the moment to the fact that as their fathers were, so were they. (Exposition on Nehemiah: Nehemiah 10 by E. Dennett)
 {v.30-31} There were three main articles in the covenant to which they bound themselves by a curse and an oath. First, they engaged to keep the whole law as given to their fathers at Sinai, as well as all the Lord's commandments, judgments, and statutes. Second, they declared that they would contract no more marriages with the heathen; and last, that the sabbath, the holy days, and the seventh year (see Deut. 15), with its accompanying conditions, should be faithfully observed. (See Exod. 21; 23 etc.) In addition to this, they made obligatory ordinances to secure provision for the service of the house of God. (Exposition on Nehemiah: Nehemiah 10 by E. Dennett)
