Nehemiah1:5
Neh 1:5
The invocation of Jahve as: Thou God of heaven, alludes to God’s almighty government of the world, and the further predicates of God, to His covenant faithfulness. “Thou great and terrible God” recalls Deu 7:21, and “who keepest covenant and mercy,” etc., Deu 7:9 and Exo 20:5-6.
