Nehemiah 10 - Overcompensating is Not the Answer

The Israelites make a promise to follow God's law and dedicate themselves to His service:

• The Israelites' make a covenant with God, promising to follow His law and observe His commands, ordinances, and statutes.
• Three specific promises made - not giving their daughters in marriage to foreigners, foregoing the seventh year crops and debts, and not purchasing goods on the Sabbath day.
• The Israelites begin to move into overcompensation for the sins of their forefathers, especially as we journey to the New Testament.
• Balancing God's heart for the foreigner, and His hatred of the foreigner's idolatry.
