Tafsiran Nehemia 5:2: Rashi

וְיֵשׁ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֹמְרִ֔ים בָּנֵ֥ינוּ וּבְנֹתֵ֖ינוּ אֲנַ֣חְנוּ רַבִּ֑ים וְנִקְחָ֥ה דָגָ֖ן וְנֹאכְלָ֥ה וְנִחְיֶֽה׃

Ada yang berkata, “Kami bersama anak-anak lelaki dan anak-anak perempuan kami banyak jumlahnya; biarlah kami mendapat gandum, supaya kami dapat makan dan tetap hidup.”

Rashi

There were some who were saying He gives a reason for his words: Why were they crying? Some of the poor people were saying, “We are many with our sons and daughters and have to buy corn. Now we will have to sell our sons and daughters in order to buy corn in order to live.” So were they crying about the rich Jews who did not wish to support them.
