Rashi, on Neh 5:12

“And they said: We will restore, and we will require nothing of them: and we will do as thou sayest. And I called the priests and took an oath of them, to do according to what I had said.”

“And they said, “We shall return” And they said [that they were willing] to return and to relinquish all. to do according to this promise that they too should relinquish.”
