Week 6: Friday: Nehemiah 5:1-19

         In this passage the people were being charged interest. Some were sold into slavery. When Nehemiah heard about this, he was angry. He made everyone swear not to sell people into slavery. They also had to promise to give back every bit of money they took and not to charge anymore interest. Whoever disobeyed this God would punish. I don't help the poor much. I hate to say it. I want to help. I just don't know what to do to help them. I don't see very many poor people here in the United States of America.
