Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.
Entonces dijeron: 'Devolveremos todo y no les exigiremos nada más. Haremos exactamente lo que has dicho.' Así que llamé a los sacerdotes e hice que los líderes juraran que cumplirían esta promesa.
Los líderes prometieron solemnemente devolver todo lo que habían tomado injustamente del pueblo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Nehemiah, the Jewish people had returned from exile in Babylon and were focused on rebuilding Jerusalem's walls, but they faced internal strife due to economic oppression among their own ranks. The wealthy nobles were exploiting the poor by charging excessive interest on loans, forcing them to sell their lands and even their children into slavery, which violated God's laws on fair treatment. Nehemiah, as a leader, confronted this injustice publicly, and in this verse, the offenders agreed to make restitution and sealed their promise with an oath before the priests to ensure accountability.
