The name means "God delivers" or "God rescues," which reflects the overarching theme of divine deliverance throughout the book of Nehemiah. This name is significant as it underscores the faith and hope of the Jewish people in God's ability to restore and protect them. Meshezabel is listed among those who sealed the covenant, indicating his role in the community's commitment to follow God's law. This act of sealing the covenant is reminiscent of the renewed commitment to the Mosaic Law, similar to the covenant renewals seen in the times of Joshua (Joshua 24) and King Josiah (2 Kings 23).<p><b>Zadok</b><br>Zadok is a name with priestly connotations, as it is associated with the line of priests that served during the reigns of David and Solomon. The name means "righteous" or "just," and it is a common name among the priestly families. In the context of Nehemiah, Zadok represents the continuity of the priestly line and the importance of maintaining religious purity and adherence to the law. The presence of a Zadok in the list of covenant signers highlights the role of the priesthood in leading the people back to faithfulness. This connection to the priestly line can also be seen as a type of Christ, who is our ultimate High Priest, as described in the book of Hebrews (<a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14-16</a>).<p><b>Jaddua</b><br>Jaddua is another name that appears in the list of those who sealed the covenant. The name means "known" or "acquainted," and it is associated with the high priestly line during the post-exilic period. Jaddua is mentioned in other historical records, such as those of Josephus, as a high priest during the time of Alexander the Great. This historical connection provides insight into the continuity of the Jewish religious leadership from the time of Nehemiah into the Hellenistic period. Jaddua's inclusion in the covenant renewal signifies the ongoing commitment of the religious leaders to uphold the law and guide the people in their spiritual journey. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's faithfulness in preserving a remnant and maintaining His covenant with Israel, as seen throughout the Old Testament.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nehemiah.htm">Nehemiah</a></b><br>- The governor of Judah who led the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls and initiated spiritual reforms among the people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_covenant.htm">The Covenant</a></b><br>- The renewed commitment made by the Israelites to follow God's Law, as detailed in <a href="/bsb/nehemiah/10.htm">Nehemiah 10</a>.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>- The city where the events of Nehemiah take place, specifically focusing on the restoration of its walls and spiritual life.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_signatories.htm">The Signatories</a></b><br>- Leaders, Levites, and priests who signed the covenant, representing the community's commitment to God's commandments.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_people_of_israel.htm">The People of Israel</a></b><br>- The broader community who agreed to the covenant, committing to live according to God's laws.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/c/commitment_to_god's_word.htm">Commitment to God's Word</a></b><br>The signing of the covenant in <a href="/nehemiah/10-21.htm">Nehemiah 10:21</a> reflects a deep commitment to live according to God's Word.
