1. What might have led the Israelites to gather together on the twenty-fourth day of the seventh month (9:1-2)? What significant actions did they take together on that day (3)? How do you think the Levites contributed to this assembly of repentance (4-5)
2. Who is the God whom the Israelites praise (6)? In what ways did God fulfill His promise to Abraham (7-8)? How did God demonstrate His power to the Israelites who were suffering in Egypt (9-12)?
3. How did God show compassion to the Israelites despite their disobedience and rebellion in the wilderness (13-21)? In what ways do the Israelites’ sins contrast with God’s forgiveness throughout their history (22-35)? How did the Israelites respond before God after recognizing their sins (36-38)?
4. Who sealed the binding agreement (10:1-29)? What commitments did they make to God (30-39)? How does the faith of the Israelites, who repented and sealed the binding agreement, inspire you to bear the fruits of repentance?
