Neemias 9:25

Listen to Neemias 9:25
25 Conquistaram cidades fortificadas e terra fértil; apossaram-se de casas cheias de bens, poços já escavados, vinhas, olivais e muitas árvores frutíferas. Comeram até fartar-se e foram bem alimentados; eles desfrutaram de tua grande bondade.

Neemias 9:25 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 9:25

And they took strong cities
Such as, in an hyperbolical way, are said to be walled up to heaven, ( Deuteronomy 1:28 )

and a fat land;
of a good and fruitful soil, abounding with all good things, ( Deuteronomy 8:7 Deuteronomy 8:8 )

and possessed houses full of all goods;
ready built and furnished for them, both with good provisions and good furniture:

wells digged;
to supply them with water:

vineyards, and olive yards, and fruit trees in abundance;
which they planted not:

and they did eat, and were filled, and became fat;
in body, though in mind became wanton and wicked; they made their hearts fat, or stupid, as Aben Ezra interprets it, see ( Deuteronomy 32:15 ) ( Isaiah 6:10 )

and delighted themselves in thy great goodness;
not in praising the Lord for it, and using it to his honour and glory, but indulged themselves to luxury and intemperance; though it may be understood of a lawful pleasure in the enjoyment of the great affluence they were brought into, which last agrees with what follows.

Neemias 9:25 In-Context

23 Tornaste os seus filhos tão numerosos como as estrelas do céu, e os trouxeste para entrar e possuir a terra que prometeste aos seus antepassados.
24 Seus filhos entraram e tomaram posse da terra. Tu subjugaste diante deles os cananeus, que viviam na terra, e os entregaste nas suas mĂŁos, com os seus reis e com os povos daquela terra, para que os tratassem como bem quisessem.
25 Conquistaram cidades fortificadas e terra fértil; apossaram-se de casas cheias de bens, poços já escavados, vinhas, olivais e muitas árvores frutíferas. Comeram até fartar-se e foram bem alimentados; eles desfrutaram de tua grande bondade.
26 “Mas foram desobedientes e se rebelaram contra ti; deram as costas para a tua Lei. Mataram os teus profetas, que os tinham advertido que se voltassem para ti; e fizeram-te ofensas detestáveis.
27 Por isso tu os entregaste nas mãos de seus inimigos, que os oprimiram. Mas, quando foram oprimidos, clamaram a ti. Dos céus tu os ouviste, e na tua grande compaixão deste-lhes libertadores, que os livraram das mãos de seus inimigos.
