Nechemyah 5:1-3

Orthodox Jewish Bible

5 And there was a great outcry of HaAm and of their nashim against their achim the Yehudim.

² For there were that said, We, our banim, and our banot, are rabbim (many); therefore we must get dagan (grain) for them, that we may eat, and live.

³ Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our sadot (fields), kramim (vineyards), and batim (houses), that we might buy dagan, because of the ra’av (famine).
