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

10 Eu, os meus irmãos e os meus homens de confiança também estamos emprestando dinheiro e trigo ao povo. Mas vamos acabar com a cobrança de juros!
11 Devolvam-lhes imediatamente suas terras, suas vinhas, suas oliveiras e suas casas, e também os juros que cobraram deles, a centésima parte do dinheiro, do trigo, do vinho e do azeite.
12 E eles responderam: “NĂłs devolveremos tudo o que vocĂȘ citou, e nĂŁo exigiremos mais nada deles. Vamos fazer o que vocĂȘ estĂĄ pedindo”.EntĂŁo convoquei os sacerdotes e os fiz declarar sob juramento que cumpririam a promessa feita.
13 TambĂ©m sacudi a dobra do meu manto e disse: Deus assim sacuda de sua casa e de seus bens todo aquele que nĂŁo mantiver a sua promessa. Tal homem seja sacudido e esvaziado!Toda a assembleia disse: “AmĂ©m!”, e louvou o SENHOR. E o povo cumpriu o que prometeu.
14 Além disso, desde o vigésimo ano do rei Artaxerxes, quando fui nomeado governador deles na terra de Judå, até o trigésimo segundo ano do seu reinado, durante doze anos, nem eu nem meus irmãos comemos a comida destinada ao governador.
