John Wesley's Notes
<< Nehemiah 5:4   Nehemiah 5:6 >>


Nehemiah 5:5

Our flesh - We are of the same nature, and religion with them, though they treat us as if we were beasts or Heathens. Bondage - We are compelled to sell them for our subsistence. Daughters - Which was an evidence of their great necessity, because their daughters were more tender, and weak, and unfit for bond - service, and more exposed to injuries than their sons. Redeem - Which we are allowed to do, Exodus 21:7-11, but have not wherewith to do it.
