Nehemiah Chapter 5 서론

5 commentaries compared

5 commentary sources Open passage

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary

Untitled

Translated Open passage

How bravely Nehemiah, as a wise and faithful governor, stood upon his guard against the attacks of enemies abroad, we read in the foregoing chapter. Here we have him no less bold and active to redress grievances at home, and, having kept them from being destroyed by their enemies, to keep them from destroying one another. Here is, I. The complaint which the poor made to him of the great hardships which the rich (of whom they were forced to borrow money) put upon them, Ne 5:1-5. II. The effectual course which Nehemiah took both to reform the oppressors and to relieve the oppressed, Ne 5:6-13. III. The good example which he himself, as governor, set them of compassion and tenderness, Ne 5:14-19.

Adam Clarke's Commentary and Critical Notes on the Bible

Nehemiah 5 Introduction

Translated Open passage

The people complain that they are oppressed and enthralled by their richer brethren, Nehemiah 5:1-3. Nehemiah calls them to account; upbraids them for their cruelty; and obliges them to swear that they will forgive the debts, restore the mortgaged estates, and free their servants, Nehemiah 5:4-13. Nehemiah's generosity and liberality, Nehemiah 5:14-17. The daily provision for his table, Nehemiah 5:18, Nehemiah 5:19.

INTRODUCTION TO Nehemiah 5

In this chapter is a complaint of the poor against the rich for oppression of them, Nehemiah 5:1 for which Nehemiah being angry, reproved them, and made them promise, and swear to it, to make restitution, Nehemiah 5:6 and set them an example himself, taking nothing of them during his twelve years' government, supporting himself and his at his own expenses, Nehemiah 5:14.

Ne 5:1-5.

Translated Open passage

Ne 5:1-5.

THE PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THEIR DEBT, MORTGAGE, AND BONDAGE.

1-5. there was a great cry of the people . . . against their brethren--Such a crisis in the condition of the Jews in Jerusalem--fatigued with hard labor and harassed by the machinations of restless enemies, the majority of them poor, and the bright visions which hope had painted of pure happiness on their return to the land of their fathers being unrealized--must have been very trying to their faith and patience. But, in addition to these vexatious oppressions, many began to sink under a new and more grievous evil. The poor made loud complaints against the rich for taking advantage of their necessities, and grinding them by usurious exactions. Many of them had, in consequence of these oppressions, been driven to such extremities that they had to mortgage their lands and houses to enable them to pay the taxes to the Persian government, and ultimately even to sell their children for slaves to procure the means of subsistence. The condition of the poorer inhabitants was indeed deplorable; for, besides the deficient harvests caused by the great rains

(Ezr 10:9;

also

Hag 1:6-11),

a dearth was now threatened by the enemy keeping such a multitude pent up in the city, and preventing the country people bringing in provisions.

John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Nehemiah 5:1

Translated Open passage

And there was a great cry of the people, and of their wives,.... Those of the poorer sort:

against their brethren the Jews; the rich that oppressed them; and this cry or complaint was made to Nehemiah for redress.

Matthew Poole's Annotations upon the Holy Bible

Nehemiah 5:1

Translated Open passage

The people complain of their brethren, by reason of their debts, mortgages, and bondage, Nehemiah 5:1-5. Nehemiah rebuketh the usurers, and causeth them to make a covenant of restitution, Nehemiah 5:6-13. He forbeareth his own allowance, and keepeth hospitality, Nehemiah 5:14-17. The quantity of his preparations, and his prayer, Nehemiah 5:18,19.

To wit, the great and rich who had oppressed their brethren.
