Nehemiah 5:14-18

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. But IH589 did notH3808 doH6213 thisH3651, becauseH6440 of my fearH3374 of GodH430. 16InsteadH1571, I devoted myselfH2388 to the constructionH4399 of theH2063 wallH2346, and allH3605 my servantsH5288 were gatheredH6908 thereH8033 forH5921 the workH4399; we did notH3808 acquireH7069 any landH7704.

17There were 150H3967H2572H376 JewsH3064 and officialsH5461 atH5921 my tableH7979, besides the guestsH935H413 fromH4480 the surroundingH5439 nationsH1471. 18EachH259 dayH3117 oneH259 oxH7794, sixH8337 choiceH1305 sheepH6629, and some fowlH6833 were preparedH6213 for me, and once everyH996 tenH6235 daysH3117 an abundanceH7235H5973 of all kindsH3605 of wineH3196 was provided. But I did notH3808 demandH1245 the foodH3899 allotted to the governorH6346, becauseH3588 the burdenH5656 onH5921 the peopleH5971H2088 was so heavyH3513.
