Nehemiah 5:10-15

10I likewise, my brethrenH251, and my servantsH5288, might exactH5383 of them moneyH3701 and grainH1715: I pray you, let us stopH5800 charging interestH4855. 11RestoreH7725, I pray you, to them, even this dayH3117, their landsH7704, their vineyardsH3754, their oliveyardsH2132, and their housesH1004, also the hundredthH3967 part of the moneyH3701, and of the grainH1715, the wineH8492, and the oilH3323, that ye exactH5383 of them. 12Then saidH559 they, We will restoreH7725 them, and will requireH1245 nothing of them; so will we doH6213 as thou sayestH559. Then I calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and took an oathH7650 of them, that they should doH6213 according to this promiseH1697. 13Also I shookH5287 my lapH2684, and saidH559, So GodH430 shake outH5287 every manH376 from his houseH1004, and from his labourH3018, that performethH6965 not this promiseH1697, even thus be he shaken outH5287, and emptiedH7386. And all the congregationH6951 saidH559, AmenH543, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068. And the peopleH5971 didH6213 according to this promiseH1697.1

14Moreover from the timeH3117 that I was appointedH6680 to be their governorH6346 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, from the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 even to the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, that is, twelveH8147H6240 yearsH8141, I and my brethrenH251 have not eatenH398 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346. 15But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that had been beforeH6440 me had laid a burdenH3513 upon the peopleH5971, and had takenH3947 of them foodH3899 and wineH3196, besidesH310 fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; yea, evenH1571 their servantsH5288 bore ruleH7980 over the peopleH5971: but so didH6213 not I, becauseH6440 of the fearH3374 of GodH430.
