Nehemiah 5:2-5
2For there were that saidH559, We, our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323, are manyH7227: let us get grainH1715, that we may eatH398 and liveH2421. 3Some also there were that saidH559, We are mortgaging our fieldsH7704, and our vineyardsH3754, and our housesH1004: let us get grainH1715, because of the dearth. 4There were also that saidH559, We have borrowed moneyH3701 for the king’sH4428 tribute upon our fieldsH7704 and our vineyardsH3754. 5Yet nowH6258 our fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 to be servantsH5650, and some of our daughtersH1323 are brought into bondage already: neither is it in our power to help it; for otherH312 men have our fieldsH7704 and our vineyardsH3754.
