SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:12

Y dijeron: Devolveremos, y nada les demandaremos; haremos así como tú dices. Entonces convoqué a los sacerdotes, y los juramenté que harían conforme a esto.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. Then said they, we will restore them , etc.] The
lands, vineyards, oliveyards, and houses: and will require nothing of them ; not the hundredth part of the fruits of the earth by way of salary: so will we do as thou sayest ; they approved of his proposal, and readily agreed to it: then I called the priests, and took an oath of them that they should do according to this promise ; not that the priests were delinquents, they were not charged with anything of this kind, nor were they the men that promised restitution; but the priests were called to administer the oath to the nobles, and rulers, and rich men, to oblige them the more to keep their word; an oath being sacred, priests in an holy office were made use of to give it, that it might be the more solemn, and the more strictly regarded.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-13 - Nehemiah knew that, if he built
Jerusalem's walls ever so high, s thick, or so strong, the city could not be safe while there wer abuses. The right way to reform men's lives, is to convince their consciences. If you walk in the fear of God, you will not be eithe covetous of worldly gain, or cruel toward your brethren. Nothin exposes religion more to reproach, than the worldliness an hard-heartedness of the professors of it. Those that rigorously insis upon their right, with a very ill grace try to persuade others to giv up theirs. In reasoning with selfish people, it is good to contras their conduct with that of others who are liberal; but it is best to point to His example, who though he was rich, yet for our sakes becam poor, that we, through his poverty, might be rich, 2Co 8:9. They di according to promise. Good promises are good things, but goo performances are better.
