From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Seal unto it -The exact force of the phrase used is doubtful; but its general sense must be that the classes named took part in the sealing. It was usual in the East to authenticate covenants by appending the seals of those who were parties to them (seeJeremiah 32:10).
