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. |

(d) By nature the rich are no better than the poor.
(e) We are not able to redeem them, but out of poverty are forced to sell them to others. |
