Neemia 5:18

Listen to Neemia 5:18
18 E quel che mi si preparava per ogni giorno era un bue, sei capri scelti di bestiame minuto, e dell’uccellame; e ogni dieci giorni si preparava ogni sorta di vini in abbondanza; e, nondimeno, io non ho mai chiesta la provvisione assegnata al governatore, perché il popolo era già gravato abbastanza a motivo de’ lavori.

Neemia 5:18 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 5:18

Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six
choice sheep
Or fat ones; of beef and mutton a considerable quantity, abundantly sufficient for his guests and servants, and shows what a good table he kept:

also fowls were prepared for me;
what number is not said:

and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine;
the country afforded; that is, either once in ten days his stock of wine was renewed, or a more liberal entertainment was made, a banquet of wine, ( Esther 5:6 ) ,

yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor;
the salary that used to be given him, but did this at his own expense, out of his own estate in Judea; or what he had got by his office as cupbearer to the king of Persia, the salary of which perhaps was continued:

because the bondage was heavy upon the people;
the tribute of the king of Persia, and their labour and expense in building the walls of the city.

Neemia 5:18 In-Context

16 Anzi ho messo mano ai lavori di riparazione di queste mura, e non abbiamo comprato verun campo, e tutta la mia gente s’è raccolta là a lavorare.
17 E avevo alla mia mensa centocinquanta uomini, Giudei e magistrati, oltre quelli che venivano a noi dalle nazioni circonvicine.
18 E quel che mi si preparava per ogni giorno era un bue, sei capri scelti di bestiame minuto, e dell’uccellame; e ogni dieci giorni si preparava ogni sorta di vini in abbondanza; e, nondimeno, io non ho mai chiesta la provvisione assegnata al governatore, perché il popolo era già gravato abbastanza a motivo de’ lavori.
19 O mio Dio, ricordati, per farmi del bene, di tutto quello che ho fatto per questo popolo.
