Adam Clarke, on Neh 5:2
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Neh 5:2 · Douay-Rheims
“And there were some that said: Our sons and our daughters are very many: Yet us take up corn for the price of them, and let us eat and live.”
On this verse:
“We, our sons, and our daughters, are many - Our families are larger than we can provide for; we are obliged to go in debt; and our richer brethren take advantage of our necessitous situation, and oppress us. The details which are given in the next verse are sufficiently plain.”
