Neemias 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 )

Neemias 5:4 In-Context

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”.
6 Quando ouvi a reclamação e essas acusações, fiquei furioso.
