Nehemiah 5:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ In addition, I, my brothers, and my servants are lending them money and grain. I urge you. Let’s abandon the practice of charging this interest. ¹¹ I urge you. Today give them back their fields, their vineyards, their olive trees, their homes, and the money they were charged as interest, also the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil for which you have been charging them.”

¹² They said, “We will give it back, and we will not seek anything else from them. In this way we will do what you say.”

So I called the priests and made them swear to act according to this promise.
