Neemias 5:2 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 5:2

For there were that said, we, our sons, and our daughters, are
many
Not that they complained of the number of their children, for a numerous offspring was always reckoned a blessing with the Jews; but this they observed to show that their families, being large, required a considerable quantity of food to support them:

therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat and live;
that is, they were obliged to take it at an exorbitant price, which is the thing complained of; or otherwise they must starve, the rich taking the advantage of their poverty and present dearth.

Neemias 5:2 In-Context

1 Ora, o povo, homens e mulheres, começou a reclamar muito de seus irmãos judeus.
2 Alguns diziam: “Nós, nossos filhos e nossas filhas somos numerosos; precisamos de trigo para comer e continuar vivos”.
3 Outros diziam: “Tivemos que penhorar nossas terras, nossas vinhas e nossas casas para conseguir trigo para matar a fome”.
4 E havia ainda outros que diziam: “Tivemos que tomar dinheiro emprestado para pagar o imposto cobrado sobre as nossas terras e as nossas vinhas.
5 Apesar de sermos do mesmo sangue dos nossos compatriotas, e de nossos filhos serem tão bons quanto os deles, ainda assim temos que sujeitar os nossos filhos e as nossas filhas à escravidão. E, de fato, algumas de nossas filhas já foram entregues como escravas e não podemos fazer nada, pois as nossas terras e as nossas vinhas pertencem a outros”.
