Study 5 From the Book of Nehemiah is: Nehemiah 5
1.
What
social evil did Nehemiah put right (see verses 1-13)? And how did he do it?
2.
What
features of his conduct made Nehemiah an excellent governor? Are we developing
similar characteristics?
3.
What
considerations ought to keep God’s people from doing some things which others
do as a matter of course? Cf. verse15 and 1 Cor. 8:13.
Note. Verse 1-5. The
wealthier Jews were evidently demanding repayment at high interest of money
lent by them to their poorer brethren, and were seizing the lands and property,
and even the persons of the debtors whenever their demands were not met.
