Néhémie 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 5:4

There were also that said
Who though they were able to buy corn for their families without mortgaging their estates: yet, say they,

we have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands
and vineyards;
for though the priests, Levites, and Nethinims, were exempted from it, yet not the people in common; and some of these were so poor, that they could not pay it without borrowing upon their estates, and paying large usury for it, see ( Ezra 6:8 ) ( 7:24 )

Néhémie 5:4 In-Context

2 Les uns disaient: Nous, nos fils et nos filles, nous sommes nombreux; qu'on nous donne du blé, afin que nous mangions et que nous vivions.
3 D'autres disaient: Nous engageons nos champs, nos vignes, et nos maisons, pour avoir du blé pendant la famine.
4 D'autres disaient: Nous avons emprunté de l'argent sur nos champs et nos vignes pour le tribut du roi.
5 Et pourtant notre chair est comme la chair de nos frères, nos enfants sont comme leurs enfants; et voici, nous soumettons à la servitude nos fils et nos filles, et plusieurs de nos filles y sont déjà réduites; nous sommes sans force, et nos champs et nos vignes sont à d'autres.
6 Je fus très irrité lorsque j'entendis leurs plaintes et ces paroles-là.
