Nehemiah 10:24 (KJV)

What does Nehemiah 10:24 mean?

Nehemiah 10:24 lists three individuals—Hallohesh, Pileha, and Shobek—who were among the leaders or representatives that sealed the covenant described in this chapter. This verse is part of a longer list naming those who publicly committed themselves to the renewed agreement with God.

In the context of Nehemiah, these names are included to show the broad support among the leaders for the covenant renewal after the return from exile. The list demonstrates that the commitment was not just personal but communal, involving many leaders who represented the people in this solemn promise.
