| Nehemiah 9:38
| And because of all this we, ourselves, make a covenant, and write it, and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, sign it.
| Because. Or "considering all these things," as chastisements due to our transgressions, we are resolved now to reform our conduct, (Haydock) and to comply more exactly with the covenant, which we will now solemnly renew. A copy was probably deposited in the temple, signed by the princes, (Calmet) in the name of all. (Haydock) --- Malachy (Malachias 1:4.) seems to allude to this covenant. (Calmet)
