Book ◦ Chapter

They are Your servants and Your people.
This phrase emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and the Israelites. The term "servants" reflects their role in fulfilling God's purposes, as seen throughout the Old Testament. The Israelites are often referred to as God's people, highlighting their unique status among the nations (Exodus 19:5-6). This relationship is rooted in the Abrahamic covenant, where God promised to make Abraham's descendants a great nation (Genesis 12:2). The concept of being God's people is further developed in the New Testament, where believers in Christ are described as a chosen people and a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9).

You redeemed them by Your great power and mighty hand.
The word "redeemed" signifies deliverance, often used in the context of liberation from slavery or oppression. This phrase recalls the Exodus, where God delivered the Israelites from Egyptian bondage through miraculous signs and wonders (Exodus 6:6). The "great power and mighty hand" refer to God's sovereign ability to intervene in human history, demonstrating His authority over creation. This deliverance is a type of the ultimate redemption found in Jesus Christ, who redeems believers from sin and death (Ephesians 1:7). The imagery of God's mighty hand is also seen inDeuteronomy 26:8, reinforcing His role as a powerful deliverer.

What Does Nehemiah 1:10 Mean

They are Your servants

• Nehemiah starts by reminding God—and himself—of Israel’s role as bondservants, echoingLeviticus 25:55, “For the Israelites are My servants… whom I brought out of Egypt”.

• Service is a privilege grounded in deliverance;Exodus 9:1 links freedom from bondage to worshipful service.

• For us, identifying as servants keeps the focus on obedience (Romans 6:22) and protects against self-reliance.

and Your people

• “People” adds covenant intimacy to the idea of service (Exodus 6:7;1 Peter 2:9).

• It recalls God’s promise to make Abraham’s descendants a unique nation (Genesis 17:7).

• Together, “servants” and “people” balance duty and belonging—both are true, never either/or (Ephesians 2:19).

You redeemed them

• Redemption points back to the Exodus (Deuteronomy 7:8) and forward to every act of divine rescue, culminating in Christ (Galatians 3:13).

• The verb is past tense: the work is already accomplished from God’s standpoint, giving Nehemiah boldness to pray.

• Personal application: we appeal to God on the basis of what He has already done, not on our merits (Titus 2:14).

by Your great power

• Power underscores God’s unlimited ability (Jeremiah 32:17).

• Nehemiah knows Jerusalem’s ruin is no match for the force that split the Red Sea (Exodus 14:31).

• Remembering past power fuels present faith (Psalm 77:11-12).

and mighty hand

• “Mighty hand” is covenant shorthand for decisive intervention (Deuteronomy 26:8).

• It implies both strength and closeness—God doesn’t act from afar; He rolls up His sleeves (Isaiah 41:10).

• The phrase assures the exiles that restoration is not only possible but promised (Deuteronomy 30:3-5).

summary

Nehemiah 1:10 stacks identity (“servants…people”) beside history (“You redeemed”) and ability (“great power…mighty hand”). The verse models prayer that leans on God’s character, His covenant, and His track record, inviting us to do the same whenever we face overwhelming need.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 10. -Thy people whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power. It would be better to translate, "Whom thou didst redeem." The reference is especially to the deliverance from Egypt, which is so constantly spoken of as effected "with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm" (Deuteronomy 9:29;Deuteronomy 26:8, etc. ).
