In the context of <a href="/nehemiah/10-4.htm">Nehemiah 10:4</a>, Hattush is one of the signatories of the covenant renewal led by Nehemiah. This act of signing the covenant signifies a commitment to follow God's law and restore the community's faithfulness. The name Hattush means "assembled" or "gathered," which is fitting given the communal nature of the covenant renewal. Hattush's presence in this list highlights the importance of leadership and accountability in spiritual renewal. His lineage, possibly connected to the royal line, underscores the continuity of God's promises to David and the hope for restoration.<p><b>Shebaniah</b><br>Shebaniah is another signatory of the covenant, and his name means "Yahweh has grown" or "Yahweh has increased." This reflects the theme of divine blessing and growth, which is central to the covenant renewal process. Shebaniah's inclusion in the list of leaders emphasizes the role of the Levites and priests in guiding the people back to adherence to the Law. The Levites were responsible for teaching the Law and leading worship, making their commitment crucial for the spiritual health of the community. This act of signing the covenant is a public declaration of loyalty to God, reminiscent of the covenant renewals seen in the times of Joshua and King Josiah.<p><b>Malluch</b><br>Malluch is also listed among those who sealed the covenant. The name Malluch means "counselor" or "reigning," suggesting a role of guidance and leadership. In the context of Nehemiah's reforms, Malluch's participation signifies the collective responsibility of the leaders to uphold and enforce the covenant. This reflects the broader biblical theme of communal responsibility and the importance of leaders setting an example for the people. The act of covenant renewal is a reaffirmation of the Mosaic covenant, echoing the calls to faithfulness found throughout the prophetic literature. Malluch's involvement highlights the necessity of wise counsel and strong leadership in times of spiritual and communal rebuilding.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hattush.htm">Hattush</a></b><br>A descendant of David, Hattush is mentioned in the context of those who sealed the covenant in <a href="/bsb/nehemiah/10.htm">Nehemiah 10</a>.
