Nehemiah 10:31
Ver. 31. And if the people of the land bring ware,.... Any thing to be sold, any sort of goods, that being sold might be taken away, as the word signifies;
or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell; anything to make food of; wheat or barley, as Aben Ezra interprets it; the same word is rendered corn, See Gill on "Ge 42:1"; to sell which was not lawful on the sabbath day, see Am 8:5
that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day; any festival, as the feast of the passover, pentecost, and tabernacles:
and that we would leave the seventh year: the ground untilled in that year, the vines unpruned, and the fruits of the earth, which sprung of themselves, for the poor to gather, Le 25:4,
and the exaction of every debt; that they would not demand the payment of any debt on the seventh year, as the law required they should not, De 15:2.
