Nehemiah 10:28

And the rest of the people, &c. Those that did not subscribe and seal, because there were too many, yet gave their consent to what the fore-named persons did. And not only the men, but their wives and their children, who were arrived at years of discretion, engaged themselves to abide by what their brethren the nobles had done. And all that had separated themselves All those of the heathen who had abjured idolatry and joined themselves to the worship of the Jews.
