Nehemiah 5:16-18

English Standard Version

¹⁶ I also persevered in the work on this wall, and we acquired no land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work. ¹⁷ Moreover, there were ^(A)at my table 150 men, Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations that were around us. ^18 (B)Now what was prepared at my expense^[a] for each day was one ox and six choice sheep and birds, and every ten days all kinds of wine in abundance. Yet for all this ^(C)I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because the service was too heavy on this people.
