But the former governors who were before me were supported by the people, and took bread and wine from them, plus forty shekels° of silver; yes, even their servants ruled over the people, but I didn’t do so, because of the fear of God.

Nehemiah 5:15 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces.

But the former H7223 governors H6346 that [had been] before H6440 me were chargeable H3513 (HiphPerf) unto the people, H5971 and had taken H3947 (QalImpf) of them bread H3899 and wine, H3196 beside H310 forty H705 shekels H8255 of silver; H3701 yea, even H1571 their servants H5288 bare rule H7980 (QalPerf) over the people: H5971 but so did H6213 (QalPerf) not I, because H6440 of the fear H3374 of God. H430

και τας βιας τας πρωτας ας προ εμου εβαρυναν επ αυτους και ελαβοσαν παρ αυτων εν αρτοις και εν οινω εσχατον αργυριον διδραχμα τεσσαρακοντα και οι εκτετιναγμενοι αυτων εξουσιαζονται επι τον λαον και εγω ουκ εποιησα ουτως απο προσωπου φοβου θεου

Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree came near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it turned out that the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),

Now in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month, H2320 that [is], the month H2320 Adar, H143 on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day H3117 of the same, when the king’s H4428 commandment H1697 and his decree H1881 drew near H5060 (HiphPerf) to be put in execution, H6213 (NiphInf) in the day H3117 that the enemies H341 (QalActPtc) of the Jews H3064 hoped H7663 (PielPerf) to have power H7980 (QalInf) over them, (though it was turned H2015 (NiphInf) to the contrary, that the Jews H3064 had rule H7980 (QalImpf) over them that hated H8130 (QalActPtc) them;)

εν γαρ τω δωδεκατω μηνι τρισκαιδεκατη του μηνος ος εστιν αδαρ παρην τα γραμματα τα γραφεντα υπο του βασιλεως

Establish my footsteps in your word. Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me.

Order H3559 (HiphImpv) my steps H6471 in thy word: H565 and let not any iniquity H205 have dominion H7980 (HiphImpf) over me.

^[118:133] τα διαβηματα μου κατευθυνον κατα το λογιον σου και μη κατακυριευσατω μου πασα ανομια

Who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over all of my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

And who knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) whether he shall be a wise H2450 [man] or a fool? H5530 yet shall he have rule H7980 (QalImpf) over all my labour H5999 wherein I have laboured, H5998 (QalPerf) and wherein I have shewed myself wise H2449 (QalPerf) under the sun. H8121 This [is] also vanity. H1892

και τις οιδεν ει σοφος εσται η αφρων και εξουσιαζεται εν παντι μοχθω μου ω εμοχθησα και ω εσοφισαμην υπο τον ηλιον και γε τουτο ματαιοτης

Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.

Every man H120 also to whom God H430 hath given H5414 (QalPerf) riches H6239 and wealth, H5233 and hath given him power H7980 (HiphPerf) to eat H398 (QalInf) thereof, and to take H5375 (QalInf) his portion, H2506 and to rejoice H8055 (QalInf) in his labour; H5999 this H2090 [is] the gift H4991 of God. H430

^[5:18] και γε πας ο ανθρωπος ω εδωκεν αυτω ο θεος πλουτον και υπαρχοντα και εξουσιασεν αυτον του φαγειν απ αυτου και του λαβειν το μερος αυτου και του ευφρανθηναι εν μοχθω αυτου τουτο δομα θεου εστιν

a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

A man H376 to whom God H430 hath given H5414 (QalImpf) riches, H6239 wealth, H5233 and honour, H3519 so that he wanteth H2638 nothing for his soul H5315 of all that he desireth, H183 (HithImpf) yet God H430 giveth him not power H7980 (HiphImpf) to eat H398 (QalInf) thereof, but a stranger H376 H5237 eateth H398 (QalImpf) it: this [is] vanity, H1892 and it [is] an evil H7451 disease. H2483

ανηρ ω δωσει αυτω ο θεος πλουτον και υπαρχοντα και δοξαν και ουκ εστιν υστερων τη ψυχη αυτου απο παντων ων επιθυμησει και ουκ εξουσιασει αυτω ο θεος του φαγειν απ αυτου οτι ανηρ ξενος φαγεται αυτον τουτο ματαιοτης και αρρωστια πονηρα εστιν

All this I have seen, and applied my mind to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.

All this have I seen, H7200 (QalPerf) and applied H5414 (QalInf) my heart H3820 unto every work H4639 that is done H6213 (NiphPerf) under the sun: H8121 [there is] a time H6256 wherein one man H120 ruleth H7980 (QalPerf) over another to his own hurt. H7451

και συν παν τουτο ειδον και εδωκα την καρδιαν μου εις παν ποιημα ο πεποιηται υπο τον ηλιον τα οσα εξουσιασατο ο ανθρωπος εν ανθρωπω του κακωσαι αυτον
