Guiding Questions: Nehemiah 10

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

In “view of all this” — what is the “all this” (see Nehemiah 9)?
What is the essence of “the pledge” (Nehemiah 10:29 — et seq.)?
What specific mitzvot are emphasized in the pledge?
What obligations are undertaken?
In Nehemiah 10:37, how is bringing “the first born of our sons” to be understood?
What relationship between Kohen and Levite is specified in Nehemiah 10:39?
As to the concluding refrain, what appears to be of “priority importance”?
Does this pledge bind all of the people (Nehemiah 10:29)?
