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

Nehemiah had confronted wealthy Jews who were charging excessive interest and taking advantage of their poor neighbors during this difficult time. The involvement of priests in oath-taking made this promise especially sacred and binding in Jewish culture.
