אֶל־אֲחֵיהֶ֖ם [2] Tip'cha
הַיְּהוּדִֽים׃ [1] Silluq
1 2 3 2 1 Then there was an outcry of the people [3]
and their wives, [2]
great; [1]
 
concerning their fellow [2]
Jews. [1]
2 וְיֵשׁ֙ [3] Pashta

וְנֹאכְלָ֥ה וְנִחְיֶֽה׃ [1] Merkha Silluq
1 2 3 2 2 2 For there were [3]
those who said, [2]
 
“Our sons and our daughters, [2]
we are numerous; [1]
 
so we must get grain [2]
that we may eat and that we may live.” [1]
3 וְיֵשׁ֙ [3] Pashta

וְנִקְחָ֥ה דָגָ֖ן [2] Merkha Tip'cha
בָּרָעָֽב׃ [1] Silluq
1 2 3 2 3 2 3 And there were [3]
others who said, [2]
 
“Our fields [3]
and our vineyards and our houses [2]
we have mortgaged; [1]
 
in order to get grain [2]
in the famine.” [1]
4 וְיֵשׁ֙ [3] Pashta

שְׂדֹתֵ֖ינוּ [2] Tip'cha
וּכְרָמֵֽינוּ׃ [1] Silluq
1 2 3 2 2 4 And there were [3]
others who said, [2]
 
“We have borrowed money [2]
for the king’s tax; [1]
 
on our fields [2]
and our vineyards. [1]
5 וְעַתָּ֗ה [3] Revi'a

לַאֲחֵרִֽים׃ [1] Silluq
1 2 3 3 2 2 3 4 4 3 2 5 And now, [3]
like the flesh of our brothers [3]
is our flesh, [2]
 
like their children [2]
are our children; [1]
 
yet behold we are subjecting [4]
our sons and our daughters [4]
to slavery, [3]
 
and some of our daughters have already been enslaved [3]
but it is not in the power of our hands, [2]
 
since our fields and our vineyards [2]
belong to others.” [1]
6 וַיִּ֥חַר לִ֖י [2] Merkha Tip'cha
מְאֹ֑ד [1] Etnachta
 
כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר שָׁמַ֙עְתִּי֙ [3] Mapakh Pashta

הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃ [1] Merkha Silluq
1 2 2 3 2 6 And I was angry [2]
extremely; [1]
 
when I heard [3]
their outcry [2]
 
and [2]
these words. [1]
7 וַיִּמָּלֵ֨ךְ לִבִּ֜י [4] Qadma Geresh

קְהִלָּ֥ה גְדוֹלָֽה׃ [1] Merkha Silluq
1 2 3 4 3 2 2 2 7 So my heart pondered [4]
within me, [3]
 
then I opposed [3]
the nobles and the officials, [2]
 
and I said to them, [2]
“Usury each against his brother [2]
you are exacting;” [1]
 
and I held against them [2]
a great assembly. [1]
8 וָאֹמְרָ֣ה לָהֶ֗ם [3] Munach Revi'a

פ
1 2 3 3 4 4 2 3 2 2 8 And I said to them, [3]
 
“We, we have bought back [4]
our fellow Jews [4]
who had been sold to the nations, [3]
as we were able; [2]
 
and now you, [3]
you are selling your brothers, [2]
that they should be sold back to us?” [1]
 
And they were silent, [2]
and they could not find [2]
anything to say. [1]
9 *ויאמר **וָאוֹמַ֕ר [2] ZaqefG

1 2 2 2 3 4 2 9 Then I said, [2]
“Not good is the thing [2]
that you are doing! [1]
 
Should (you) not [4]
in the fear of our God [3]
walk, [2]
 
to avoid the reproach [2]
of the nations our enemies? [1]

1 2 3 2 2 10 For also I, [3]
my brothers and my servants, [2]
 
are lending them [2]
money and grain. [1]
 
Let us stop now [2]
this usury. [1]

1 2 3 4 3 2 3 2 11 Return to them now [4]
this very day, [3]
 
their fields, [3]
their vineyards, their olive groves, [2]
 
and their houses; [1]
 
and the hundredth part of the money and the grain, [3]
the new wine and the fresh oil [2]
 
that you [2]
have been taking from them.” [1]
12 וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ נָשִׁ֗יב [3] Munach Revi'a

1 2 3 3 2 2 2 3 2 2 12 Then they said, “We will restore these, [3]
and from them [3]
nothing we will require, [2]
 
thus we will do [2]
just as [2]
you have said.” [1]
 
Then I called [3]
the priests, [2]
 
and I made them swear an oath [2]
to do [2]
according to this. [1]

1 2 3 3 4 4 4 3 2 3 2 3 4 3 2 13 Also my lap I shook out, [3]
 
and I said, [4]
“Thus may God shake out [4]
every one who doesn’t carry out [4]
this promise, [3]
 
from his house [3]
and from his property, [2]
 
and thus [3]
may he be shaken out [2]
and emptied!” [1]
 
And all the assembly replied, [4]
“Amen!” [3]
 
and they praised [3]
the LORD. [2]
 
So the people did [2]
according to this promise. [1]

I and my brothers, [2]

I have not eaten. [1]

1 2 3 4 3 4 3 2 2 3 2 15 The former governors who were before me, [4]
they placed heavy burdens on the people [3]
 
and they took from them [4]
in bread and wine [3]
 
in addition to [3]
forty shekels of silver, [2]
 
also their servants, [2]
they lorded over the people. [1]
 
But I, [3]
I didn’t do so, [2]
 
because of [2]
the fear of God. [1]

were gathered there [2]
for the work. [1]
