Nehemiah 5:16 in Context — Nehemiah 5
14 Também desde o dia que fui nomeado governador deles na terra de Judá, desde o ano vinte até o ano trinta e dois do rei Artaxerxes, doze anos, nem eu nem meus irmãos comemos o pão do governador.
15 Mas os primeiros governadores que foram antes de mim, oprimiram ao povo, e tomaram deles pão e pelo vinho, além de quarenta siclos de prata; ainda mais, seus servos dominavam opressivamente sobre o povo; porém eu não fiz assim, por causa do temor a Deus.
16 Além disso, concentrei meus esforços na obra deste muro, e não compramos terra alguma; e todos meus servos se ajuntaram ali para a obra.
17 Também cento e cinquenta homens dos judeus, dos oficiais, e dos que vinha até nós dentre as ns nações que estão ao nosso redor, se punham à minha mesa.
18 E o que se preparava para cada dia era um boi, [e] seis ovelhas escolhidas; também preparavam aves para mim, e cada dez dias todas as variedades de muito vinho; e nem por isso exigi o pão do governador, porque a servidão deste povo era grave.
