Nehemiah 5:16-18

American Standard Version

¹⁶ Yea, also I ^[a]continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work. ¹⁷ Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the ^[b]rulers, a hundred and fifty men, besides those that came unto us from among the nations that were round about us. ¹⁸ Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
