Nehemiah 5:8-12

8And I saidH559 unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the JewsH3064, that were soldH4376 unto the nationsH1471; and would ye even sellH4376 your brethren, and should they be soldH4376 unto us? Then held they their peace, and foundH4672 never a wordH1697. 9Also I saidH559, The thingH1697 that ye do is not goodH2896: ought ye not to walk in the fearH3374 of our GodH430, because of the reproachH2781 of the nationsH1471 our enemiesH341? 10And I likewise, my brethren and my servantsH5288, do lend them moneyH3701 and grainH1715. I pray you, let us leaveH5800 off this usuryH4855. 11RestoreH7725, I pray you, to them, even this dayH3117, their fieldsH7704, their vineyardsH3754, their oliveyards, and their housesH1004, also the hundredth part of the moneyH3701, and of the grainH1715, the newH8492 wineH8492, and the oilH3323, that ye exact of them. 12Then saidH559 they, We will restoreH7725 them, and will requireH1245 nothing of them; soH3651 will we do, even as thou sayest. Then I calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and took an oathH7650 of them, that they would do according to this promise.
