Nehemiah 5:2-5 And there were some that said, Our sons, and our daughters, and ourselves are many; and we must buy corn, that we may eat, and live.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And there were some that said, Our sons, and our daughters, and ourselves are many; and we must buy corn, that we may eat, and live. ³ And others there were that said, We must pledge our fields, our vineyards, and our houses, that we may buy corn, in the famine. ⁴ And others there were that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards. ⁵ Yet now our flesh is like the flesh of our brethren, our children are like their children: and, lo, we must force our sons and our daughters to become servants, and some of our daughters are forced to become so, and our hand is powerless; and our fields and our vineyards belong to others.
