Ceremony, Reform, and Sabbath Observance in Nehemiah
The chapter explores a ceremony in Nehemiah, contrasts it with the temple rededication in Ezra, and discusses Nehemiah's acts of reform such as enforcing separateness, addressing priestly misconduct, and Sabbath observance. It also delves into the concept of work on the Sabbath, ambiguity in God's commands, and Nehemiah's strict stance on maintaining separation with intermarriage.
