General Information:

In these verses, the people describe the content of the oath they were making in Nehemiah 10:29.

would not give our daughters to the people of the land or take their daughters for our sons

"would not give our daughters to marry the people of the land, and we would not take their daughters to marry our sons"

the people of the land

"the people of this land who do not worship Yahweh"

We promised ... we would not give ... or take

The word "we" includes Nehemiah and the Jewish people, but not the reader of this book.
