Nehemiah 5:17

Nehemiah’s Generosity

16Instead, I devoted myself to the construction of the wall, and all my servants were gathered there for the work; we did not acquire any land.17There were 150 Jews and officials at my table, besides the guests from the surrounding nations.18Each day one ox, six choice sheep, and some fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine was provided. But I did not demand the food allotted to the governor, because the burden on the people was so heavy.
