14FurthermoreH1571, from the dayH3117 KingH4428 ArtaxerxesH783 appointed meH6680 to beH1961 their governorH6346 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, from his twentiethH6242 yearH8141 untilH5704 his thirty-secondH7970H8147 yearH8141 (twelveH8147H6240 years totalH8141), neither IH589 nor my brothersH251H3808 ateH398 the foodH3899 allotted to the governorH6346.
15The governorsH6346H7223 before meH6440 had heavily burdenedH3513H5921 the peopleH5971, takingH3947 from them breadH3899 and wineH3196 plusH310 fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701.1 Their servantsH5288 alsoH1571 oppressedH7980H5921 the peopleH5971.
