Remember: Nehemiah 6:14, Psalms 59:5-13, 2 Timothy 4:14

the covenant: Numbers 16:9, Numbers 16:10, Numbers 25:12, Numbers 25:13, 1 Samuel 2:30, Malachi 2:4-8, Malachi 2:10-12

Reciprocal: Genesis 8:1 - God remembered Nehemiah 7:64 - as polluted Malachi 2:8 - ye have corrupted Malachi 2:12 - the master and the scholar Romans 9:4 - covenants

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Remember them, O my God,.... The priests, and punish them: because they have defiled the priesthood; by marrying strange wives, and rendering themselves unfit to officiate in it:

and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites; made with Levi, Aaron, and Phinehas, see Numbers 24:11, of the corruption of which, complaint is made, Malachi 2:4.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 29. Because they have defiled the priesthood — God, therefore, will remember their iniquities against them, and punish them for their transgressions. These words of Nehemiah are to be understood declaratively.
