And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.
Y les dije: 'Nosotros hemos usado nuestros recursos para rescatar a nuestros hermanos judíos que fueron vendidos como esclavos a extranjeros. ¿Ahora ustedes quieren vender a su propio pueblo como esclavos? ¿Acaso tendrán que ser vendidos a nosotros?' Entonces se quedaron callados y no pudieron pensar en nada que responder.
Nehemías confrontó a los nobles por explotar a su propio pueblo después de que él había trabajado para liberar a los judíos esclavizados.
📚 Contexto Histórico
During the time of Nehemiah, the Jewish people had returned from exile in Babylon and were struggling to rebuild Jerusalem amid economic hardships. Wealthy Jews were exploiting their poorer brethren by charging excessive interest on loans and even selling them into slavery to foreign nations, which violated God's laws and deepened social divisions. Nehemiah, as a godly leader, publicly confronted the nobles and officials about this injustice, challenging them to reconsider their actions and restore fairness among the community.
