In these verses, the people describe the content of the oath they were making in Nehemiah 10:28.

We promised that we would not give our daughters to the people of the land or take their daughters for our sons

"We made the commitment that we would not allow our daughters and sons to marry the people of the land who do not obey Yahweh"

We promised…we would not give…we would not buy…we will let…we will cancel…

The pronoun "we" here includes Nehemiah and the Jewish people, but not the reader of this book. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive)

we will let our fields rest

"we will not plough our fields" or "we will not grow anything in our fields"

we will cancel all debts contracted by other Jews

"we will declare that Jewish people will no longer have to pay back what they owe us"
