Commentary on Nehemiah 1:8

Theological / Devotional

If ye transgress. This is not a quotation from any particular passage in the Pentateuch, but a reference to the general sense of various passages, as, for example, Lev. 26:27-45; Deut. 30:1-5. Bible writers habitually refer to earlier inspired writings in this way, quoting the thought rather than the exact words (see on Ezra 9:11; Matt. 2:23).
