Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
Cada día se preparaba para mí un buey y seis ovejas escogidas, junto con aves. Cada diez días recibía abundante vino de toda clase. Pero a pesar de todo esto, no exigí la provisión de comida que correspondía a los gobernadores, porque el pueblo ya llevaba una carga pesada.
Nehemías renunció a los privilegios que le correspondían como gobernador para no ser una carga adicional para su pueblo que ya sufría.
📚 Contexto Histórico
During the time of Nehemiah, who was appointed governor of Judah by the Persian king Artaxerxes in the 5th century BC, the Jewish people were facing severe economic hardships due to debts, high interest rates, and internal oppression that exacerbated their poverty. Nehemiah, as a leader returning from exile, worked to rebuild Jerusalem's walls while addressing social injustices, including refusing to claim the full governor's allowances to avoid adding to the people's burdens. In this verse, he specifically highlights his daily provisions and his choice not to demand extra resources, demonstrating his integrity amid widespread suffering.
