NASB
"For there were those who said, "We, our sons and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain that we may eat and live.""
— Nehemiah 5:2, NASB
“For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.”
“For there were that said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many: let us get grain, that we may eat and live. ”
“For there were that said, "We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live."”
“There were those who said,“With our sons and daughters, we are many. We must obtain grain in order to eat and stay alive.””
“And there were some that said: Our sons and our daughters are very many: let us take up corn for the price of them, and let us eat and live.”
“For there were some who said, We, our sons and our daughters, are a great number: let us get grain, so that we may have food for our needs.”
“For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.”
Now there was a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brothers.
For there were those who said, "We, our sons and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain that we may eat and live."
There were others who said, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our houses that we might get grain because of the famine."
Also there were those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tax on our fields and our vineyards.
"Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage already, and we are helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others."
