Nehemiah 5:18 in Context — Nehemiah 5
16 También en la obra de este muro instauré [mi parte], y no compramos heredad: y todos mis criados juntos estaban allí á la obra.
17 Además ciento y cincuenta hombres de los Judíos y magistrados, y los que venían á nosotros de las gentes que están en nuestros contornos, estaban á mi mesa.
18 Y lo que se aderezaba para cada día era un buey, seis ovejas escogidas, y aves también se aparejaban para mí, y cada diez días vino en toda abundancia: y con todo esto nunca requerí el pan del gobernador, porque la servidumbre de este pueblo era grave.
19 Acuérdate de mí para bien, Dios mío, y de todo lo que hice á este pueblo.
