Nehemiah 5:2

For there were those who said, “With our sons and our daughters, we are many. So let us get grain, that we may eat and keep alive.”

Some were saying, “We and our sons and daughters are numerous; in order for us to eat and stay alive, we must get grain.”

Some were saying, “We, our sons, and our daughters are numerous. Let us get grain so that we can eat and live.”

They were saying, “We have such large families. We need more food to survive.”

There were those who were saying, “Our sons and daughters, we are many. We must get grain so that we may eat and live.”

For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.
