Alex: So, what have you been up to lately?

Contestant: Well, recently I've been studying the Bible and I just finished reading Nehemiah 10.

Alex: Ah...ok, I see. So, tell me about Nehemiah 10.

Contestant: Well, Nehemiah 10 is about the people of Israel coming together and making a covenant with God. They agreed to obey the laws of God, keep the Sabbath day holy, and not to intermarry with non-Israelites. They also agreed to pay a tithe, and to never forget the Lord.

Alex: (sighs) Right, okay. Well, why don't you tell me something else?

Contestant: Sure, but before I do, I just want to say that this was a really important moment for the people of Israel. It was a time of commitment, and a time of renewal for the relationship between God and His people.

Alex: (sighs again) That's...nice. Let's talk about something else, shall we?
