Nehemiah 5:2 CPDV

¹  And there occurred a great outcry of the people and their wives against their brothers, the Jews.

²  And there were those who were saying: 'Our sons and our daughters are very many. Let us receive grain as a price for them, and then we may eat and live.'

³  And there were those who were saying: 'Let us offer up our fields and vineyards, and our houses, and then we may receive grain during the famine.'

⁴  And others were saying: 'Let us borrow money for the tribute of the king, and let us surrender our fields and vineyards.'
