Neemias 5:12 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 5:12

Then said they, we will restore them
The lands, vineyards, oliveyards, and houses:

and will require nothing of them;
not the hundredth part of the fruits of the earth by way of salary:

so will we do as thou sayest;
they approved of his proposal, and readily agreed to it:

then I called the priests, and took an oath of them that they should do
according to this promise;
not that the priests were delinquents, they were not charged with anything of this kind, nor were they the men that promised restitution; but the priests were called to administer the oath to the nobles, and rulers, and rich men, to oblige them the more to keep their word; an oath being sacred, priests in an holy office were made use of to give it, that it might be the more solemn, and the more strictly regarded.

Neemias 5:12 In-Context

11 Restituí-lhes hoje os seus campos, as suas vinhas, os seus olivais e as suas casas, como também a centésima parte do dinheiro, do trigo, do mosto e do azeite, que deles tendes exigido.
12 Então disseram: Nós lho restituiremos, e nada lhes pediremos; faremos assim como dizes. Então, chamando os sacerdotes, fi-los jurar que fariam conforme prometeram.
13 Também sacudi as minhas vestes, e disse: Assim sacuda Deus da sua casa e do seu trabalho todo homem que não cumprir esta promessa; assim mesmo seja ele sacudido e despojado. E toda a congregação disse: Amém! E louvaram ao Senhor; e o povo fez conforme a sua promessa.
14 Além disso, desde o dia em que fui nomeado seu governador na terra de Judá, desde o ano vinte até o anos trinta e dois do rei Artaxerxes, isto é, por doze anos, nem eu nem meus irmãos comemos o pão devido ao governador.
